In 2021, Henderson County 4-H Council made it a goal to have more community involvement with the thought of having more families becoming aware of the programs that Henderson County 4-H offers. The first opportunity the 4-H Council hosted was a "Back to 4-H Bash". We utilized the fairgrounds to host the event with plenty of space to spread out. The entire event last two hours. We rented a bounce castle and obstacle course for the kids. Each club or program involved in 4-H had a booth with different activities, games or even animals for the community to be involved in. Free hotdogs and drinks were given out to those who attended. FCS Agent, Amanda Hardy, set up a booth with Better Bites to promote to the county. We had around 200 people attend the first "Back to 4-H Bash" with many new kids joining 4-H!
