“Children and families are cordially invited to attend this event in the lovely Thompson Park to learn about livestock, participate in games and make crafts,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to Monmouth County 4-H and the Park System. “I encourage all parents to have their children be a part of such a wonderful 4-H community where 4-H’ers learn by doing.”

4-H members and their animals will be participating in interactive learning stations where they will display their knowledge and care for livestock.

Members complete hands-on projects in the areas of health, science, agriculture and citizenship in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors. These mentors encourage and guide 4-H members through proactive leadership roles.
