DUDS TO DAZZLE SIGN-UPS OPEN
The Duds to Dazzle contest is an exciting, fast-paced team challenge that encourages creativity, problem-solving, and sustainability. Teams of 3-4 4-H members will receive a mystery item and must upcycle it into a new, innovative product within a set time limit. The item can be transformed into a piece of clothing, a household item, or a craft.
Using teamwork and design skills, participants will work together to plan, create, and construct their new item using provided materials and sewing tools. Once completed, teams will present their final product to a panel of judges, explaining their design choices, construction techniques, and the environmental impact of upcycling.
This contest promotes fashion and interior design skills, creative thinking, sustainability awareness, and public speaking—all while having fun!

THE BAND APP
Due to changes in several of the communication services we have utilized in the past, we were forced to find alternative methods of keeping everyone informed.
We invite all Lynn County 4-H Families and Clover Kids to join us on the Band App! This app does it all--calendar, events, reminders, a feed much like social media, and so much more. It's a one-stop shop!
We will be releasing some tutorials soon, but we wanted to get the word out and start getting families signed up. It's a free app--and even has a safe user setting for our friends who are under the age of 13.
