Freeport, IL – University of Illinois Extension hosted its annual 4-H Super Saturday on Saturday, April 2, 2022 at local Farm Bureau Office. Super Saturday is a 3-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 attended and experienced three hands-on workshops where they could make a T-shirt bag, learn origami art, learn how to make a no-sew pillow, make a tie blanket, decorate cookies or cupcakes, stamp with vegetables to make a picture, or learn about calf management and make a calf halter!

Youth between the ages of 5-7 were invited to participate in our 4-H Cloverbud Super Saturday at the same time and location. The younger youth explored their own project areas such as tie-dying a pillow case, making an Easter treat, and planting a flower bulb in dirt.
