4-H is Family Time


4-H Family Night is such a blast! For the 7 families that signed up for this one they not only had fun they gained some creative tools for their homes to help with organization and time management.

As always we started at 6 p.m. with a family dinner. Fried chicken (fried by Bobby Rogers), mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls and cookies for desert was the star studded menu. However it was the family conversation that took place around the tables that was the most fun. We learned about each other and as Aggie says, "fellowshiped" sharing a few moments together before we got down to the activity at hand.

In an effort to make organization and time management fun, each family made a magnetic, organizational board from a cookie sheet. They decorated it with all sorts of things to allow it to reflect their family personality. At the end of the night they had all had a great time and were ready to go home and use their boards to help keep track of important items and dates, like upcoming 4-H events.

Stay tuned for our next 4-H Family Night which will take place in the fall.
