Need a plan for Christmas shopping or site seeing, tree maintenance, learn more about Illinois poisonous plants, or how to make a bonsai? Look no further, the Henry-Stark County 4-H group and your local extension are sponsoring several fall and winter experiences.
The Chicago trip is a nice service the 4-H group is sponsoring. You are able to let someone else do the driving and visit with a friend on the bus. I've done Chicago bus trips several times and it is so nice after shopping or sight seeing, to relax on the way home and not worry about weather or traffic. The cost is generally much less than the cost of gas and parking.
The Teleconference Series is always worth the small fee. Presenters are experts from the University of Illinois and they usually make time for Q&A. No need to dress up, you can bring snacks or a soda, pen & paper and enjoy the slides and instruction. Take advantage of these opportunities hosted so close to us.
Advance registration is needed because they have to set up the equipment for teleconferencing ahead of time. It's best to call in your reservation.
