Great Event in January- We’re Proud!

We had an amazing start to the year with our January Session, which featured activities jointly organized by the Kids-N-Kids 4-H Club, the Cass County 4-H Program Coordinator, and Our Father’s Family Keeper Ministries, and was held at the Village Youth Center in Vandalia. 

Seventeen (17) enthusiastic youth joined us for a fun-filled day of creativity and learning! 

Each participant got the chance to explore at least two of our three activity stations, which included:

  • Keychain Crafting
  • Candle Making
  • Tin Punching

The energy in the room was absolutely wonderful — full of laughter, focus, and imagination. It was inspiring to see everyone so engaged and excited to try something new. We’re so proud of our of all our participants and can’t wait to see what they create next time!  #YouthWorkshop #CreativityInAction #OFFKM
