Calendar

Highlands County 4-H offers several different programs and events on a variety of topics. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are limiting the number of large events that we host for the year. We plan to offer as many traditional programs as possible and will continue to add events as we are able to. Please see the calendar below for a list of our scheduled events for 2021-2022.
