DIXON, IL –Illinois Extension and Lee County 4-H are thrilled to announce the upcoming 4-H Kids with Heart Exhibit, a special event dedicated to celebrating the creativity, compassion, and community spirit of our local 4-H members. The Open House will be held on Friday, October 4, from 6-8 PM at The Next Picture Show, and we invite the public to join us in recognizing these young artists.
The 4-H Kids with Heart Exhibit will feature various projects created by our 4-H members. The judges selected these projects at the 2024 Lee County 4-H Show in July.
"Our 4-H members are learning valuable life skills and developing a deep sense of responsibility and empathy for others," said Katie Baker, Program Coordinator. "The Kids with Heart Exhibit is a wonderful opportunity for the public to see firsthand the dedication and creativity of these young people."
This event is free and open to the public, and we encourage everyone to come out and support our 4-H members. The 4-H Kids with Heart Exhibit is part of our ongoing efforts to engage youth in meaningful activities that promote personal growth, leadership, and community involvement. We proudly showcase the hard work and dedication of our 4-H members and look forward to sharing their achievements with the community.
