Why cook when you can go out to eat a delicious meal and support local youth? Bring your family or come with friends to the Henderson County Fairgrounds and enjoy time together having dinner and help fund 4-H programs and scholarships for local youth.

The Henderson County 4-H BBQ serves a delicious pork chop sandwich, potato salad or potato chips, baked beans, applesauce, dessert, and a drink for a free will donation. Tickets can be purchased from your friendly neighborhood 4-H member or at the door.

Stop by the Henderson County Fairgrounds located at 122 E. Jones St. in Stronghurst on Saturday, June 4 from 4 until 7 p.m. to dine in or carry out a delicious meal and take the night off from cooking.

Any questions can be directed to Shelby Carlson, 4-H youth development educator at (309) 924-1163.

If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, contact Shelby. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting your access needs.

Independent research confirms the unparalleled impact of the 4-H experience, demonstrating that young people are four times more likely to contribute to their communities; two times more likely to make healthier choices; two times more likely to be civically active; and two times more likely to participate in STEM programs.
