💚🍀 THAT’S A WRAP ON NATIONAL 4-H WEEK! 🍀💚

From the Boone County Courthouse glowing green 🏛️ to our Clover Quest adventurers exploring the fairgrounds 🔎🥾 and our office staff showing off their green, we had so much fun celebrating National 4-H Week with our community!

We went GREEN for Go Green Day, showed our gratitude on Thankful Thursday, and celebrated the incredible youth, volunteers, families, and supporters who make 4-H so special. 💚

As National 4-H Week comes to a close, we’re looking forward to an incredible year of 4-H filled with new opportunities, hands-on learning, leadership, friendships, and memories! 🌱✨

📸 WE WANT TO SEE YOUR CELEBRATION PICTURES! Did you wear green, participate in Clover Quest, or celebrate 4-H in your own way? We’d love to see it!

💌 Message your pictures to us on social media or email them to [email protected] so we can celebrate with you!

Thank you, Boone County, for helping us celebrate 4-H! 💚🍀

Some 4-H lessons stick with you long after the project is finished. 🔧💚

Learning how something works. Figuring out how to fix it. Asking questions. Trying again.

Those hands-on experiences help young people build skills and confidence they can carry into whatever comes next.

Ready then. Ready now. Ready for anything.
