National 4-H Week

     National 4-H Week – October 5^th thru 11^th, 2025. The theme for 4-H Week is “#4HBeyond Ready”.   There are 100 kids in Hill County who are learning life skills through 4-H.  We are hoping to up that number for the 2025-2026 4-H year.

     This is a great time to PROMOTE 4-H by working together as a club and putting in a window display in a business window; wear 4-H “green” all week; talk to friends and neighbors about 4-H and encourage them to join in the fun.

     Let the Extension Office know where your window display is located so we can come over and take pictures, or send us pictures of your display for next year’s “4-H In Pictures” slide show.

4-H BRAND RESOURCES

     The 4-H brand tells the world who we are and has a great impact when used correctly.  The 4-H brand uses a precise 4-H clover in a certain color.  Specifics on approved logos and colors can be found at www.montana4h.org/resources/4-H_brand.html.  If you are making a flyer and need logos or clip art sent to you, we are happy to do that.  Call the Extension office to make that request.
