4-H members finish up projects this month in preparation for upcoming events at the Butler 4-H Park. Summer gives 4-Hers the opportunity to showcase projects they worked on all year. During the year, the University of Illinois Extension offers workshops and classes for the 4-H members such as painting, sewing and cooking. Montgomery County 4-H Program Coordinator Elisha Hughes says throughout the year, they're looking for people to help with 4-H.

"We are always looking for more volunteers who are willing to take time to lead a meeting or to share their expertise on something. We have kids with lots of interests and we just need the people to teach."

For more information on 4-H or volunteering, contact the University of Illinois Montgomery County Extension office at 217-532-3941 or go to their website: Montgomery County 4-H
