New van transports 4-H members to Colorado Leadership Conference
Last weekend, Nov. 3-5, local 4-H members traveled to the Colorado Leadership Conference in Glenwood Springs, and it was the first trip made with the council’s new van, which was purchased Oct. 27.
Phillips County members carpooled with Logan and Yuma counties. Between the three counties, 49 youth went to the conference, which was open to 4-H members in grades 6-9.

They also heard from motivational speaker Dan McLaughlin.
