Antelope County 4-H Open House Set For Wednesday

Those interested in 4-H are encouraged to attend the Antelope County 4-H Open House on Wednesday, March 15, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the fairgrounds.

4-H is a community of young people, ages 5-19, who are learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. 4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential working and learning in partnership with community members. 4-H is education for life that uses a learn-by-doing approach. 

Attend the open house to learn what 4-H is all about! We will have a variety of activities through the evening and current 4-H members will be showcasing some of their former 4-H projects. We will have over 28 different 4-H projects and opportunities showcased. Another highlight of the night will be shooting sports demonstrations performed by the archery club.

Three 4-H Clubs from around the county will be there to promote membership in 4-H clubs. For the younger kids, there will be temporary tattoos, stickers, and a couple of activities to keep them busy. Snacks are being provided by Melissa Smith from State Farm. It wouldn’t be a 4-H Open House without the 4-H mascot, Lil’ Green. Also, there will have laptops set up so families can enroll or re-enroll in 4-H that night.
