National 4-H Week

October 2-8 is National 4-H Week, and Clarion County is celebrating the 4-H youth who have made an impact on the community, and are stepping up to the challenges of a complex and changing world. We will be collecting food for the food bank during the Fall Fest at Paul's Pumpkin Patch on Sunday, October 2, at 3:30 PM.  Simply bring some canned goods to contribute to the food bank. 

              Also during National 4-H Week, hundreds of thousands of youth from all around the nation will complete a single, innovative experiment on 4-H National Youth Science Day, which will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2011. The 2011 National Science Experiment, Wired for Wind, will introduce young  people to the possibilities of using wind as a clean, widely available, and low-cost source of renewable energy.  Contact the extension office today if you are interested in conducting this science experiment.  Several schools in the area will be participating. 

4-H youth are a living breathing, culture-changing revolution for doing the right thing, breaking through obstacles and pushing our country forward by making a measurable difference right where they live.
