At our pancake breakfast a few weeks ago, youth were able to play a game called "Pancake Plinko" 🥞. Not only was this a way to kick off National 4-H Week, but it also gave them the opportunity to get involved and meet new people!

The directions were simple: drop a puck down the board and do whatever challenge it lands on!
🍀 Head - Take a photo with our C*C, Ashley
🍀 Heart - Introduce yourself to a 4-H member you've never met
🍀 Hands - Find volunteers helping at the breakfast
🍀 Health - Take a picture of guests enjoying the breakfast

Here's some photos of the pancake breakfast through their eyes!

We're wrapping up with one more Clover Quiz question!💡
A common misconception is often that you need to live on a farm and/or show livestock to participate in 4-H. But that isn't always the case!

What are other project areas or opportunities that 4-H offers? Bonus points if you have pictures!
