Back for its fourth year, and better than ever, the Food, Fun, 4-H project kicks off in May. More than 700 families already are enrolled for the summer 2023 FF4-H activities.

This fun, family activity runs from May through August and is free to participants. Each month’s theme will be a surprise based off of suggestions from past participants, said Cathy Allen, 4-H curriculum coordinator at the state 4-H office at Oklahoma State University.

“Food, Fun, 4-H was developed in 2020 as a way to help youth develop kitchen skills, as well as to help bring the family back to the table for meals,” Allen said. “Families are understandably busy, but sitting down together as a family to eat a homecooked meal is important. That first year we hoped to have 50 families participate, and we far surpassed that goal. Summer 2023 is our biggest year yet.”

Join us for a tea party on May 13th to celebrate your mom. Print this photo, fill in your name, and give this to your mother as a Mother's Day card. We will be serving tea and other light refreshments. Everyone is welcome! The cost is $5 per person and moms (and mother figures) get in for free. Payment will be taken at the door.

Are you ready to have fun this summer?
