National 4-H Week
Although the month of October is typically awash in the color orange and decorated with pumpkins, Oklahoma 4-H’ers celebrate with four-leaf clovers and the color green. Why? Because the first full week of October is National 4-H Week. As an added bonus, Oklahoma celebrates National 4-H Month throughout October. This year’s theme is Find Your Spark!
