The goal of the Washington County 4-H Project Extravaganza days is to give 4-H members a variety of options for hands-on learning, experiencing, creating, and fun with other 4-H members under the leadership of community businesses, experts, and volunteers. Depending on the details of each workshop, the majority are open to any 4-H members in 4th grade and older. Each participant brings in their own level of experience and is able to apply that to these project areas.  Online pre-registration is required by November 22. Limited space is available for some workshops and filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. The fees for service will be used to offset direct expenses and to support the Washington County 4-H Youth Development Program.  You can find a complete list of workshops with this news story at KCIIRadio.com.
