We noticed a pattern at last night's 4-H Open House! πŸ€
Actually, we noticed LOTS of patterns!

Fur, feathers, scales, brushwork, targets, tire treads, and more! Our Open House was full of different interests, exciting possibilities, and families discovering all the ways to get involved in 4-H.

Missed the Open House? You haven't missed your chance to join!

Several 4-H clubs are still welcoming new members, and our 4-H office can help you find a club and explore projects that match your interests. Have some interested youth and adults? We can help you start a new club, too!

Contact us to get started. There's something for everyone in 4-H!

A huge THANK YOU to the 4-H youth, families, and volunteers who helped showcase the incredible variety of projects and opportunities available in our valley!

What a beautiful day to be outside learning new skills! β˜€οΈ

Today, Tyler spent some time teaching a couple of youth the fundamentals of dirt bike riding, building confidence, responsibility, and safe riding skills along the way.

If your child is interested in motorcycles, outdoor recreation, and hands-on learning, we'd love to introduce you to our new Kittitas County 4-H Motorcycle Club!

Come meet Tyler and learn more about the club at our 4-H Motorcycle Club Open House:
