The Handy Dandy 4-H Club has 8 members and was reestablished and relocated in 2006. They meet on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 1 PM. Members enjoy a variety of general and animal projects, giving everyone a chance to explore their interests and try new things. The club also has some great traditions, including a fall trip to a corn maze and painting pumpkins with residents at the Lodge. “My favorite part of being a Handy Dandy 4-H Club member is how fun it is getting to be around everyone and learning in fun environments,” says member Elizabeth.

Dear 4-H,
You’ve been part of our story since 2006 — shaping leaders, sparking creativity, and building friendships that feel like family.
You’ve taught us to serve with heart, lead with kindness, and never stop learning.
Nineteen years later, our roots run deep — and we’re Beyond Ready for all the growth still to come. 💚
