A new 4-H is currently underway with lots of activities in DeWitt County. 

Lindsey Burden, DeWitt County 4-H Extension Coordinator, indicates while the 4-H year officially began on September 1 it is not too late to join. She advises those interested to visit a club meeting to see what 4-H is all about.

Burden says there are many benefits from being involved in 4-H from learning public speaking and leadership skills to mastering projects in an area that interests them. She notes 4-H has expanded programming in recent years and has more of something for everyone.

Burden adds in addition to being involved in a 4-H club there are also special interest clubs for those interested in hunting or wanting to learn archery or shooting.
