Calling for all those interested in participating in 4-H Cooking Kits! We are looking for participants to join our next batch of kits! This is a series of three (3) 4-H Cooking Kits for $40 (for 3 kits)! Each 4-H Cooking Kit each will include set of instructions, surprise recipe, ingredients needed to make the recipe, and a surprise item.

4-H Cooking Kits give youth an opportunity to learn and practice cooking skills at home, spend time with family and explore new interests in foods. This is open to youth ages 5 and up. However, younger and/or inexperienced youth will require adult supervision.

Please register & pay by October 15! There is a $40 participation fee that will help cover the cost of the kits. Payment is required due to food cost. No refunds after deadline. To register we will need 4-Hers name, age, parent email, and a parent cell phone number.
