Held at the Rotary Complex, the event drew hundreds of attendees, with 4-H members playing a key role in helping the evening run smoothly.

Many of the participating youth have already begun their 4-H season, meeting regularly with club leaders to learn about feeding, managing and preparing their dairy calf projects for competitions throughout the year.

The 4-H program provides hands-on learning opportunities for youth aged nine to 21, focusing on dairy calf management and broader agricultural skills tied to farm production.

Club leaders, all volunteers, dedicate significant time to mentoring young members. Many are themselves graduates of the 4-H dairy program and understand the value of developing the next generation of farmers in Perth County.

Through initiatives like the Rural-Urban Dinner, 4-H members not only gain practical experience, but also help bridge the connection between rural agriculture and the wider community.
