theme for 4-H Summer Week. If

a place to make new friends from

Another highlight was the
classes. This year, each 4-H
member can choose up to nine
classes. More than 16 hours of
action-oriented learning will be
offered in the areas of horses,
sports, fashion and personal
development, leadership, arts,
drama and more.
Rounding out the week will be
a series of special events such as
sports contests, a celebration of
talent, a pizza party, swim par
ties. and dances. Summer Week
delegates live in an OSU
residence hall where they’ll meet
new friends while getting to know
eople from this area even better.
More information about the
program, registration and costs
will be mailed to each 7-12 grade
member. The cost per delegate
from Morrow County is sup
ported in part by scholarships and
gifts from local service clubs. Ex
tension groups and other
organizations and businesses in
