Over 350 youth and teens participated in the 4-H Kick Off Celebration held Tuesday afternoon, September 30 at the 4-H Offices and Independence Park. 4-H'ers from across the county participated in educational sessions including beekeeping, healthy snacks, healthy drinks, video chants, double dutch, rocketry and the science behind M&M's.
