Name one benefit of e-filing your taxes?  How do you typically pay for a new car warranty? How might a university’s graduation rate influence your decision to attend?  These are all examples of questions the Muhlenberg County 4-H Junior LifeSmarts Team studied for months leading up to their debut competition.  LifeSmarts focuses on five key topic areas: consumer rights and responsibilities, the environment, health and safety, personal finance, and technology.  A team compromised of five 4-Hers worked together to claim the 2022 Kentucky State Championship.  Traditional 4-H programs introduce 4-Hers to hands on experiences, volunteerism, leadership skills.  The LifeSmarts skiathlon style program tests 4-Hers intellectual skills by literally putting them to the test.  Adult volunteer leaders trained 4-Hers and cheered them on to their championship title.
