The hallways of Salina South Middle School were filled with excited Central
Kansas Extension District 4-H members, Saturday, February 17, 2024 for the
annual 4-H Club Day competition. The numerous 4-H members were
anxiously waiting for their time with the judge for their demonstrations,
project talks, public speaking and talent numbers.
