4-H?ers skate away the afternoon

The Washington County 4-H County Council hosted the annual countywide 4-H Skating Party on Sunday, Jan. 18, at the Wellman Rec Center. Over 150 4-H?ers, Clover Kid members, family members, and friends took advantage of the fun roller skating. Numerous other adults and youth attended. Skaters had time to free skate, as well as compete in a limbo and dice competition.

The skating party is one of the many countywide activities held for 4-H?ers throughout the year. County Council is now preparing for the Winter Wonderland Father-Daughter Dance on Jan. 31, the 4-H Dodge ball tournament on March 8, and the 4-H pancake breakfast and Spring Preview Cattle Show on April 18 at the Washington County Fairgrounds.
