The Muskingum County Commissioners have decreed the first full week of March "Ohio 4-H week"
Commissioners met with 4-H leaders this afternoon to read the proclamation. The 4-H flag will also fly over the court house all week. 4-H empowers youth for positive change.
"One of the things that i really like and look forward to is the family connection," said Michelle Fehr, extension educator of 4-H youth. "There are many people in several areas that 4-H is just a generational thing, their parents and grand parents have done it. So its a way for families to learn more about each other and for us to have better communities."

"What 4-H gives youth in helping them to develop themselves, becoming productive citizens, is the greatest thing," said Fehr.
