Wayne County 4-H News

March 16, 2021 was a great day. It was the first time in one year that the Wayne County 4-H Leaders Group met in person since the pandemic started in March 2020. Several 4-H Leaders got together outside to help plan for in-person programs this summer. There are many great opportunities to volunteer with the Wayne County 4-H Program. To learn more, please call our office at 304-272-6839. 

The International Travel 4-H Club traveled virtually to India and Vietnam on March 23 as part of their monthly club meeting. Youth studied about both countries prior to the meeting, identified and made a dish to talk about and played a game of Kahoot to test their knowledge of these two beautiful countries. Check out the padlet on India and Vietnam to see some of the dishes they made. In April, they are traveling virtually to New Zealand. Interested or have questions? Email Julie Tritz or call our office at 304-272-6839.
