Join Lawrence County 4-H in celebrating what we've accomplished and where we're headed!
What is National 4-H Week?
National 4-H Week, October 2-8 2022, is a time for the 4-H program and all of its bright and amazing participants to be celebrated. This week is a time to honor the accomplishments and dedication of 4-H members and volunteers across the nation, as well as empower young people to constantly strive to be the best that they can be and inspire those around them. This week gives everyone a chance to recognize the hard work put in by 4-H members to not only complete, but excel at both hands-on 4-H projects, as well as leadership and career building experiences offered by the 4-H program. Let this time serve as a reminder to not only work to be your best, but to always make the best better.
I loved showing pigs at the county and State Fairs! I even served as the State Fair Berkshire Queen twice!
