Why Informational Posters and Educational Displays?

Youth involved in 4-H programs have great experiences, knowledge, and insights to share!  Whether it’s at county fair, a public meeting, or a 4-H Club, Informational Posters and Educational Displays are just one tool for sharing your knowledge with others in our community.
