Holt County 4-H Trash Can Challenge This year the Holt County Fairgrounds will receive new plastic trash cans. Each club will be allowed to decorate these trash cans. The plastic trash cans can be painted in any way to promote 4-H. Clubs will need to use a special plastic paint. Call the Extension Office for details about the paint. We suggest you pick from the following 4-H program areas: 4-H Agricultural Literacy: Ensure that Nebraska’s youth have a knowledge and appreciation of where their food coms from. 4-H Career Development: Prepare youth to make informed decisions about their college career path. 4-H Citizenship/Leadership: Foster youth’s commitment to their communities and growing future leaders. 4-H Healthy Living: Educate youth about how to make healthy and safe decisions in their daily lives 4-H Science: Developing science interests, skills and abilities in the areas of agriculture, energy, environmental stewardship and technology. Don’t forget—this makes an excellent community service project!!! The trash cans will be judged at the fair. The winning club will receive a $100 grant donated by the Holt County 4-H Foundation!!! Clubs can call Megan at: 402-336-2760 or e-mail at: [email protected] to make arrangements to receive the trash cans.
