Throughout the 4-H year we have taken a multitude of pictures during 4-H Workshops and other events. There have been several requests for copies of the pictures, so we thought we would make them available to everyone. If you find a good one of your child that you want to download, please feel free. You may also use some of these pictures as you finish up your Career Porfolios.
We will try to maintain this photo link throughout the year so that you too may enjoy seeing what fun your kids are having at 4-H events.
