🧡🤎Happy first day of fall! 🤎🧡
The fall equinox marks the official start of fall, as the Earth’s axis allows for equal hours of daylight and darkness. 4-H staff are most excited for the colorful changing leaves, fall hikes and outdoor adventures, and cooler weather for cozy clothes! What are you most looking forward to this season? 🍂

👩‍🍳👨‍🍳This session is open to youth ages 5 and up. There will be no set theme for the meetings. Instead, the dishes prepared at each meeting will be influenced by suggestions from our 4-Hers, giving participants a chance to help shape what they cook and explore recipes that interest them. Whether you're craving something cozy, festive, sweet, savory, or completely new, Clover Chefs is a great place to try it out! 🔗Details & registration: https://albany.cce.cornell.edu/events/2026/10/20/4-h-clover-chefs-fall-session

Thank you all for your help, and to everyone who purchased a milkshake in support of 4-H! 💚🍀
