LAKEPORT >> The Lake County libraries and 4-H youth invite the community to participate in the 2015 Lake County Fair. Members of 4-H will be at each of the county’s four libraries during July to help people enter the Lake County Fair online and to answer questions about the 4-H program. The libraries will have a limited supply of Lake County Fair premium books for the workshops.
Teen leaders and the Lake County 4-H Youth Tech Team welcome all ages to drop by during any of the four free scheduled workshops. The first session will be at Middletown Library, 21256 Washington St. on Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m., followed by Upper Lake Library on July 25 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; Lakeport Library, 1425 N. High St. on July 25 from 2 to 4 p.m.; and Redbud Library, 14785 Burns Valley Road in Clearlake, on July 29 from 2 to 4 p.m. For more information about the workshops call the 4-H office at 263-6838. For library information call 263-8817.
Lake County’s 4-H youth are part of the country’s largest youth development and youth mentoring organization. Here in Lake County, the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources has authorized nine community clubs. Often equated with livestock and agriculture, the real focus of the 4-H organization involves hands on learning, self-actualization and community engagement. July and August is the open enrollment period for clubs. Information will be available at the workshops and may also be found online at http://celake.ucanr.edu/4-H_Program/ or by contacting the 4-H office, 263-6838.
