Come to the 4-H Open House!

The 4-H Open House is this Saturday, November 14. Along with the Open House, the judging of the Apple and (new this year) Pecan Cook-Off will also take place.
This event is a great way to learn about today's 4-H and the history of 4-H in Florida. Pinellas 4-H clubs will be here to display their project work with everything from LEGOS to dairy goats. There will be free activities and club fund raisers to support. Everyone who visits each display and fills out their passport will be eligible for a 4-H door prize. Two of the most popular activities are back - the Extreme Gingerhouse Building Contest and the Rockets Away rocket building and launch. Best in Show pet treats will also be there to promote this nation-wide 4-H fund raiser.
The 4-H Open House will take place at the Pinellas County Extension at 12520 Ulmerton Road, Largo from 10:00a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
