The COVID-19 numbers are on the rise in Christian County and so the University of Illinois Extension Office, according to 4-H Youth Development Educator Sara Marten, have cut back on in-person events.

Some 4-H Clubs did meet in-person to start the school year, but according to Marten, they’re currently meeting virtually and adapting what they would typically be doing this time of year to a virtual format.

As a unit, Marten says that they recently collected various items for those that were impacted by the recent wildfires in Montgomery County. 

Sara Marten was a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
