Today the International Travel 4-H Club held its inaugural meeting virtually using Zoom! The club "traveled" to Ireland on this St. Patrick's Day and got to hear from Terry Collins, a native of County Louth (just north of Dublin) answer all their questions including learning how Ireland is coping with COVID-19.
We said the pledges virtually and one family showed the Irish dish, Colcannon, that they made today.
We had over 60 entries in the State 4-H Poster Contest. The following 4-H member entries won first place in their age division and category and will move onto the State 4-H Poster Contest. Congratulations to all our participants and our county winners. Results will be announced later this year. For more information, contact our office at 304-272-6839.
