Purdue Extension-Jefferson County 4-H

🍀🎃👻

🍂 AN IMMENSE THANK YOU to the Jefferson County 4-H Junior Leaders!

We are so lucky to have talented area youth onsite to help make our Little Ghouls event extra special this week!
None of the fun and festivities could happen without everyone's support, no matter how big or small, and the 4-H Youth Development Program is no exception!

The Lodge community is the best there is, and we can't thank the 4-H team enough for being a part of it 🧡

Grab your tickets before they're gone!
