4-H Skating Party full of Fun!

Saturday, Feburary 7th was the 4-H (roller) skating party, over 50 4-Hers, parents and cloverbuds were in attendance. Skaters played the familiar game of limbo, and the 4-H version of 4 corners. Each corner represented one of the leaves on the clover, Head, Heart, Hands and Health.

Clubs that had skaters there included:

Olympia Pacesetters
Home Spun
Hudson Ag
Ardent Tillers
Towanda 4-H
Clover Crew
Lexington Leprechauns
Blue Ribbon Kids
Downs Top Notchers
Saybrook Willing Workers
Danvers Industrial Youth Cloverbuds
Stylistics

Thank's to all of the 4-Hers and familes that participated! If you missed this fun event, I hope you mark your calendar for next year it's typically the first Saturday in February!
