County 4-H Council hosts Junior Halloween Party ...

The Allamakee County 4-H Council is composed of energetic and positive high school students who serve as ambassadors for 4-H. These members are responsible for planning and supporting numerous activities for Allamakee County 4-H members. Sunday, November 6, the Council hosted the annual Junior Halloween Party for youth in fourth through sixth grades. The event was held at the Zion United Church of Christ (UCC) in Waukon. A total of 28 youth attended and participated in a STEM challenge which challenged them to build a tin foil boat to hold candy pumpkins, played Halloween BINGO, ended the afternoon with a costume contest, and enjoyed many more activities throughout the event.

Pictured in the submitted photos above, Addison (left photo) won the Scariest Costume Award, and Brynn (right photo) won the Most Original Costume Award at the Halloween Party. Admission into the party was a canned good item to benefit the Allamakee County Food Shelf, with a grand total of 38 pounds of food being donated to help others in need.
