Exciting news! Vaughan Woods & Historic Homestead will be hosting a 4-H meeting on Nov 8 from 1-2pm (after their very fun c***r pressing event at 11am) for a brand new club in Kennebec County! This is open to all!

The focus on the club will be primarily within food security. The aim is to fundraise and to purchase 4-H raised animals locally to then donate the protein to local food banks. Protein is increasingly difficult to purchase and to bring young people together that are supporting other youth to produce the food for local families, this is the goal. There's a problem and we believe the young people of this community can help solve it!

We're hoping to establish a 4-H club around this idea, full of fun, creativity, growth, and mentorship! The community of Hallowell and beyond is welcome.

If there is a need for accommodation prior to the event please reach out to [email protected].
