When disaster strikes a community, 4-H'ers are there to help.
This September 4-7, members, clubs, and families of 4-H are coming together for a community in Greensburg, Kansas, to help raise a 14,000 square-foot barn in just four days. In May 2007, a catastrophic tornado struck Greensburg and wiped out nearly 95 percent of the town, including the Kiowa County 4-H Livestock Pavilion. The barn raising event will bring members of the Greensburg community as well as volunteers from around the country together to rebuild the important 4-H landmark.
