🍀 Thank You, Mariposa County! 🍀

Thank you to everyone who joined us this past Saturday for our Mariposa County 4-H Recruitment Event! We loved meeting families, sharing what 4-H offers, and kicking off National 4-H Week together.

We also want to recognize some wonderful community supporters who helped make the event possible:

🍀 Jason Duberke of Pioneer Market for allowing us to display our 4-H banner at Pioneer Village.

🍀 Xav Dubois for generously allowing us to use the Frost Shop Marketplace for our event and display our banner leading up to the day.

🍀 Pioneer Market for donating materials for our root b**r floats—they were a big hit!

And, of course, thank you to all of the 4-H members, families, volunteers, and community members who stopped by and helped make the afternoon a success.

Missed the event but want to join 4-H? It’s not too late! Learn more and enroll here:

For generations, 4-H has given young people opportunities to learn by doing, discover new interests, build confidence and become active members of their communities.

This October, Mariposa County 4-H invites local families to help kick off National 4-H Week with an afternoon of fun, activities and a chance to discover everything 4-H has to offer.
