On Feb. 15, 4-H Cloverbuds and Federation members across Bureau, La Salle and Marshall–Putnam counties braved the cold for a fun evening at JJR Next Level Fitness.

The event encouraged youth to stay active while exploring the fitness facility and connecting with 4-H members.

Participants had the opportunity to enjoy a variety of activities, including a bouncy house, obstacle course, climbing wall and interactive group games. The evening provided an opportunity for youth to build friendships and share their 4-H experiences. Events like this highlight the 4-H value of community, leadership and personal growth.
