Freeport, IL – University of Illinois Extension is hosting its annual 4-H Super Saturday on Saturday, March 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. in Bldg. R at Highland Community College. Super Saturday is a 2.5-hour event designed to give area youth ages 5 to 18 a chance to explore the many project areas available through the 4-H program.  This event is open to all area youth, regardless of 4-H membership.

Youth between the ages of 8-18 are invited to attend and experience three hands-on workshops where they can name their own disease, learn about showing livestock with an emphasis on rabbits, plant a mini-succulent garden, try their hand at being an EMT, and much more. The cost is $9 per participant; a few sessions include an extra fee.

Youth between the ages of 5-7 are invited to participate in our 4-H Cloverbud Super Saturday at the same time and location. This workshop is also from 9:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. but the younger youth will explore their own project areas such as tie-dying a tablecloth, making an Easter treat, and gardening.  The cost for these youth is $4 per participant.
