weekend and have fun, as well as learn
about programs that 4-H has to offer
them.

Kody Etheridge, Mylan Collier and
Trent Cwiertniak attended Junior Rally
this year.
In addition to the rally’s normal activi
ties, it was also marked by Global Youth
Service Day and the 4-H members did
not shy away from the good work that
could be done. From gathering togeth

Place" the youth also cleaned up the
grounds around Wahsega and planted
flowers at the Wahsega entrance.

a Junk Drawer Robotics class taught
by Barrow 4-H staff member Jonathan
Page, where the youth worked together
in teams to build a Clipmobile out of
random supplies while also learning
budgeting and thrifty spending. They
also rotated through 4-H and More class
