New and Returning Members Welcome
Join 4-H Today
enrollment deadline June 15
Nebraska Extension in Greeley, Howard, Sherman and Valley Counties reminds area residents that this is a good time to enroll in 4-H. Young people, ages 5-18, join 4-H to learn leadership, citizenship, and life skills through a learn-by-doing approach. 4-H youth and their family members are encouraged to attend meetings together. Work on projects can take place at home - in the yard or around the kitchen table - with guidance from mom or dad, an older brother or sister, a neighbor, friend, or other adult. 4-H members need support and encouragement of their families. Growing together through 4-H enhances family strengths.

Helping 4-H'ers set and achieve goals is worthwhile and satisfying. You have valuable skills to share and you can make a difference.

PAF Safety Day Returns to Ord
for youth grades K-6
Area youths are invited to participate in Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® (PAF Safety Day) at the fairgrounds in Ord, Nebraska on June 3, 2025. Recognized as the largest safety and health education program for children in North America, the purpose of the PAF Safety Day is to teach children ways to stay safe and healthy on farms, ranches, and in rural communities through participation in a variety of age-appropriate, hands-on experiences. Children in grades K-6 (as of January, 2025) are welcome. The youngest participants (K-2nd graders) will come in the morning and third through sixth graders will attend afternoon sessions. Lunch is provided for all the students.
This year's event will focus on disaster preparedness, and attendees will receive a "go-bag" ready to pack with emergency essentials. Registration forms will be accepted until May 16 or until event capacity is reached, whichever comes first. Contact co-coordinators Kayla Hinrichs (308.728.5071) or Bev Smedra (308.728.3781 x3) if you need more information.
