Auburn, CA – April 23, 2016 – McKenna and Myah, members of Placer County's Ophir 4-H Club, planned and ran a community outreach activity on Saturday at the Higgins Fire District and Cal Fire 2016 Open House.
The girls worked together to develop a plan to spread the word about 4-H in Placer and Nevada County. McKenna and Myah decided to show everyone that 4-H Grows Here by giving youth attending the event an opportunity to plant a variety of plants including succulents and spider plants. The girls assisted youth in planting and shared their love of 4-H with inquiring youth and adults alike, they even worked with Smokey the Bear!
