Waldo County 4-H Offers Explore 4-H Series
University of Maine Extension Waldo County 4-H is now accepting registrations for Explore 4-H, a series of monthly workshops designed to connect Waldo County youth and their families to their local 4-H program. Each workshop in the series will explore a different 4-H project through hands-on learning. The series is open to all Waldo County youth ages 5–18 and their families.
The first Explore 4-H workshop will be from 6–7 p.m. on Feb. 24, and will introduce youth to 4-H art projects. In this workshop, participants will be guided through the art of painting barn quilt squares. From 10 a.m.–noon on March 5, the Explore 4-H series will be visiting Pleasant View Stables in Knox, Maine to explore the ways youth can become involved in 4-H horse projects.
From 1–3 p.m. on April 21, the Explore 4-H series will be at the Northern Solstice Alpaca farm in Unity, Maine. At this Explore 4-H workshop, participants will make their own felted products and meet the alpacas that produce fiber used to make products sold in the on-site farm store.
Preregistration is required for each Explore 4-H workshop. To register, obtain more information or request a reasonable accommodation, please contact 207.342.5971 or mackensie.schofield@maine.edu.
