Twenty-seven youth from throughout Lincoln County were at the Tomahawk Middle School on Saturday, March 14, where they participated in a variety of 4-H project sessions as part of Project Discovery Day. Youth participated in sessions on topics such as basket weaving, digital storytelling, arts, robotics, propagating plants, and much more. Sponsored by the Lincoln County 4-H Leaders’ Association and University of Wisconsin-Extension 4-H Youth Development in Lincoln County, Project Discovery Day is designed to provide youth in 5-year old kindergarten and older, a chance to discover what they can learn and do in 4-H. This event is open to all youth and 4-H members are encouraged to bring a friend.
During the day, youth participated in sessions led by the following 4-H adult and older youth volunteers and University of Wisconsin-Extension staff members: Amanda Kostman, Lisa Woelbing, Yvette Chieves, Beth Krueger, Lisa Krueger, Caroline Lemke, Austin Leinen, Christina Rencontre, Dan Marzu, Jeni Marzu, Larry Hendrickson, George Hendrickson, Pat Chieves, Maxine Schuetze, Chris Gano, Sara Proulx, Hanna Proulx and Debbie Moellendorf.
Another 4-H Project Discovery Day is being planned for fall in Merrill. Watch for more information and registration materials in late August/early September.
