Vanderburgh Co. 4-H Program

🍀Creative Clover Studio🍀

Today we held our first-ever Creative Clover Studio Workshop Day. 4-H members participated in 6️⃣ different project workshops including:
🖍️Poster Making
🎁Gift Wrapping
🎂Cake Decorating
🍪Microwave
💐Floriculture
📒Scrapbook

Participants were able to take home a wrapped gift, yummy microwave snack mix, a flower arrangement and lots of excitement and knowledge about a new project or two 🤩

We would like to extend a huge thank you to our workshop presenters: Rhonda, Winnie, Jenelle, Marcia, Kimbra, Josh and Susan! We could not have done it without you. 💚
