Go back in time to the 1940s when our mothers and fathers or grandmas and grandpas coped with food shortages due to the war.

Coming Soon to a Theater Near You
 | | Join 4-H Today! |
Dallas County 4-H is a part of a huge central Iowa marketing campaign to gain recruitment in both 4-H members and volunteers. Our YouTube ad will be shown at the Jordan Creek movie theater and specially designed, laminated table clings will be placed in the food court. Additionally, through targeted demographics, we will reach audiences on YouTube. We're very excited about these efforts and hope you are, too! The 4-H program is a way for local 4th-12th graders to become leaders in their communities, learn new skills, gain new friends and, of course, have fun!
