Sign up to help work the HLSR Concession Stand
The HLSR Progress Show will take place at the Washington County Expo Saturday November 5 – Sunday November 6. We have the opportunity to have the 4-H Concession Stand open to help feed all the exhibitors and staff. We need your help to staff the concession stand. Please take a moment to follow the link and sign up to work. Each slot is meant for a family name. Make sure that a parent is present to work. No youth should be in concession stand without a guardian.
Note – 4-H members will receive a meeting credit to be used during the year if needed.

Each practice we will be focusing on a different aspect of the Food & Nutrition project. Practices are open to all 4-H youth that wish to participate. Food Show is an individual contest and Food Challenge teams may have 3 or 4 members each. Be thinking about who from your club could be on your team and invite them to come to the practices. If you aren’t sure if you want to compete or not, that’s okay, practices are for everyone!
