Washington County 4-H members are busy with upcoming workshops and starting projects for the county fair. Amy Green 4-H and Youth Coordinator for Washington County explains they have a kick-off event called the 4-H Fire Up. This event is open to all 4-Hers but is mostly geared toward members who have been in 4-H for three years or less. She explains it’s a chance for new members and those interested in joining to learn the basics about many different areas including project areas, upcoming events and more. The event is for members and their parents, and each family will receive a 4-H handbook.

Green adds they accept new members throughout the year, up until May 15th. The 4-H Fire Up will be held February 19th at the extension office. Contact the extension office to register for the event.

The Washington County Fair will be held July 17-22.
