Extend your 4-H Volunteer Conference experience by kicking off the event with a fun-filled Friday night! Dinner, trivia, chair massages, crafting experiences, and door prize giveaways are being planned to help you kick back and unwind! 

The NH 4-H Volunteer Leaders' Association is hosting an evening of community building and fun as a way to connect with other leaders throughout the state and enjoy 4-H with other adults. The evening will begin with the NH Association's annual meeting, where all are welcome to come learn about the Association, it’s plan of work for the year, as well as an opportunity to provide input on how the Association can better support the leaders of NH 4-H.

Following the engaging business meeting, the Association is hosting a night of 4-H fun for adults. Dinner, at 6:30pm, will be provided for all those who pre-register for the evening (prior to April 3). Evening activities will start at 7:00pm. Leaders can test their knowledge with our annual Trivia night. Those not feeling the trivia scene can enjoy a crafting corner or take part in the pampering space with free chair massages. A special thanks to some of our local businesses for donating their ‘hands to larger service' (gratuity appreciated). Evening activity sign-ups will be online for those who pre-register as well as at the registration table beginning at 5:30pm. NOTE: limited spots are available for the chair massages and will be filled on a first come-first serve basis.
