Every kindergartener through fifth-grader in Elkhart County is invited to attend. The purpose of this event is to introduce new families to the Elkhart County 4-H program.

At the event, 4-H volunteers will have displays promoting opportunities available in the 4-H program. It is also a time to meet and greet 4-H leaders and find more information about 4-H clubs.
