CLOVERLEAF 4-H DANCE
We have scheduled the next Cloverleaf 4-H Dance for 5th and 6th grade 4-H members on Thursday, Feb. 16, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Indian Creek Elementary School. Admission for the dance is $10 plus 4-H members must have a 4-H wristband to be admitted. You must pay the admission fee at the door. Door prizes will be given away including two $25 summer camp scholarships.
4-H wristbands cost twenty-five cents and are only available from your 4-H teacher the day of the dance. You are only allowed to purchase one wristband for the dance and you must get it from the teacher with whom you have 4‑H meetings. The wristband must be put on your arm at the time of purchase and is not transferable to another person. Students who fail to follow the rules at the dance will not be allowed to purchase wristbands for future dances.
Rules to follow include: Respect dance leaders, keep dancing clean and respectable, no running, no rough play, and no fighting.
Concessions will be available to purchase including drinks, pizza, chips, candy, and jerky.
