The University of Illinois Extension in Logan, Menard, and Sangamon County is taking a running start into the new year for its 4-H members.

It kicks off with a free leadership seminar in Springfield says Terri Miller-Casey who is the Extension Director. She hopes 4-H students will take advantage of this opportunity.

Coming up later this month, the 4-H family cooking night returns and Miller-Casey explains it is held on Zoom and gives families a chance to cook a meal in their kitchens.

Mark your calendars for Feb. 24 when there will be a poultry and rabbit seminar to get students ready for the 4-H show this summer. Miller-Casey believes this will be a good opportunity for first-time or newer 4-H students.

A program for early March annually fills up fast so Miller-Casey is making her communities and families aware of their dates and times. Additionally, they are trying a new arts and culture program in late February.
