— filed under: ,

Sixty 4-H'ers enrolled in non-livestock projects will be attending this year’s 4-H Kids College on Saturday, March 31, at the OVCTC in West Union. Those enrolled in related projects will learn about project requirements, pre-fair judging, and Ohio State Fair expectations. Each course will provide hands-on learning opportunities, and members will complete one or more activities from their project books. Youth will leave each course with a product, kit, and/or new information.
