Henry County youth and their families are invited to kick off a new year of 4-H with two fun-filled open house events at the Henry County Extension Office in Mount Pleasant. The “Ready, Set, 4-H!” gatherings are designed to introduce new families to 4-H and welcome returning members for another exciting year of learning and growth.
The first event, Clover Kids Night, will be held Tuesday, October 7, from 6 to 7 p.m. and is geared toward children in grades K–3. The following evening, Wednesday, October 8, from 6 to 7 p.m., the 4-H Welcome Night will focus on youth in grades 4–12.
Both evenings will feature a drop-in, hands-on open house format. Families can meet local 4-H clubs and leaders, explore activity stations, grab enrollment information, and enjoy snacks and a photo booth. Staff will be on hand to answer questions and help with enrollment for the new 4-H year.
The event is open to all Henry County families—both new and returning members. Organizers encourage participants to stop by for a few minutes or stay for the entire hour to discover the many opportunities 4-H offers.
The Henry County Extension Office is located at 127 N. Main Street, Mount Pleasant, IA 52641. For more information, contact Iowa State University Extension and Outreach in Henry County.
