4-H Woodworking

The 4-H exhibits at the Iowa State Fair showcase impressive talent from Iowa’s youth. Several 4-H members from central Iowa will share the stories behind the builds of their State Fair woodworking entries, including an end table and a chess set. They’ll speak about what they’ve learned on their woodworking journey so far, and how 4-H has helped them hone their skills.

Meeting, 7:00-8:30 p.m., at the Fred Maytag II Scout Center, 6123 Scout Trail, Des Moines 50321.
