Kentucky 4-H hosted their bi-annual Ky. 4-H Volunteer Forum on Feb. 9-11 at the Lexington Center and Hyatt Regency. Washington County 4-H had 17 teen and adult volunteers to attend on Friday and Saturday of the forum.

The forum gives 4-H volunteers from across the state the opportunity to attend workshops, educational exhibits and be recognized for outstanding contributions to Kentucky 4-H.

Louisville Farm to Table and Washington County Cooperative Extension are collaborating once again to provide local farmers with an opportunity to meet buyers from Bardstown, Louisville and Lexington.

Eating right and exercise go hand in hand in making sure we keep healthy.  Kentucky 4-H is working to help youth learn what they can do to be healthy now and as they grow into adulthood. For the first year, Kentucky 4-H will be celebrating Kentucky 4-H Health Day 2012 on Monday, Feb. 20.
