Next week is National 4-H week and the University of Illinois Extension is ready to celebrate with the kids. Throughout the week the extension will have different ways to celebrate such as wearing clovers, and participating in trivia night. But Terri Miller, Publicist at the U of I Extension explained the reason to celebrate 4-H week.

Miller said she advocates 4-H because of what she's seen it do to help her daughters grow to become more confident, prepared, and leader-like.

Next Tuesday will be the big day for National 4-H week in Christian County as they celebrate Clover Day, and that night the organization is playing “Are You Smarter than a 4-H'er.” For more information call the extension office at 217-287-7246. Miller appeared on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
