Celebrate 100 years of 4-H in Winneshiek County and let 4-H members make you, your very own personalized omelet on Sunday, March 2nd from 8:00AM to 12:00PM in the Community Building at the Winneshiek County Fairgrounds. Tickets will be sold at the door for $10.00.  Youth ages 9 and under are $5.00.

While enjoying your omelet participants will be able to learn more about 4-H in Winneshiek County.  Silent auction items will be available to bid on throughout the event.  Proceeds from the event will be used to off-set direct expenses and to support the 4-H Youth Development County Extension Program.

To celebrate 100 years, we’re creating a commemorative 4-H cookbook featuring recipes from our 4-H members, alumni, and volunteers.  We would love for you to contribute your favorite recipe!  Submissions will open at the 4-H Omelet Breakfast.

We hope to see you at our EGG-CELLENT event!
