Middlesex County 4-H Open House Oct. 2

East Brunswick, NJ - The Middlesex County 4-H Club will hold an open house on Sunday, Oct. 2 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the 4-H Youth Center, located at 645 Cranbury Road in East Brunswick.

Though typically thought of as an agriculturally focused organization, 4-H today focuses on citizenship, healthy living, science, engineering and technology programs.

Attendees will have the chance to observe animal and dance demonstrations throughout the event. There will also be opportunities to speak with current 4-H members and volunteer leaders, so children can join the clubs that best reflect their interests and adults can volunteer to help the groups best suited to their skills.

“Middlesex County is proud to have over 30 different 4-H clubs, which help our young residents learn essential life skills,” said Freeholder Kenneth Armwood, Chair of the County’s Business Development and Education Committee. “This is a great event for kids to see which of our many clubs might interest them, and it also offers a chance for adults to see which clubs they might want to volunteer for.”
