Loudon County 4-H’ers had a great time at Culinary Day last week! We had 13 4-H’ers in attendance and they were able to learn new skills, gain hands-on experience in the kitchen, and have fun along the way!

We love seeing our youth build confidence, develop valuable life skills, and discover new interests through 4-H!

What a great STEM Day!

We had 9 awesome 4-H’ers join us for a fun-filled morning of hands-on STEM activities! Our 4-H’ers had the opportunity to explore, experiment, ask questions, and learn through engaging activities with the crowd favorite being building their very own roller coaster prototypes!

We love seeing our 4-H’ers get excited about science, technology, engineering, and math while learning through hands-on experiences!
