4-H and the University of Illinois Extension constantly put on workshops for area youth which continues now into the Winter months. Upcoming events are open to 4-H members and some expand to the greater community. If a workshop fits your interest and you’re not a member, open enrollment is available to join the organization through April. Taylor Sinclair, 4-H Youth Program Development Coordinator with the University of Illinois Extension, has several classes planned before the year ends. The first such course comes with a seven week sewing club with projects like pillows, pillow cases, tote bags, and more to make.
On November 25th from 3 to 4 p.m., at the Kitchell Memorial Library in Morrisonville, is an embroidery workshop with a focus on beginners and simple stitches.
Going further into the holiday season, area youth will have a chance to create an ‘evergreen porch pot.’ This course will be held December 9th starting at 5 p.m., at the Christian County Extension Office.
Lastly in December for 4-H, is their ‘Cook and Connect’ workshop. On December 16th through the 19th, food kits for delicious family cooked meals to make at home, will be passed out. The fee for this is $10.
