The Annual Idaho County 4-H Party was held on Saturday, April 23, 2022, at the Cottonwood Community Hall.  Nearly 200 4-H members and their friends gathered at this event which is a "Penny Arcade" intended to raise the awareness of the Idaho County 4-H Program and encourage youth and adults to participate in this youth development program.  This event is also the kick-off for Idaho County 4-H Week.
Each of Idaho County’s 4-H clubs set up a booth at which chances to play cost from one to twenty-five cents. These booths offer a wide variety of games.  Some of this year’s games included penny drops, bean bag toss, roping and a balloon stomp.
The games concluded at noon with a free hamburger barbecue lunch served by the Idaho County 4-H Ambassadors.  The Idaho/Lewis County Cattle Association provided the hamburger to BBQ and the Idaho County Wheat Growers Association also makes a donation to help offset the expenses for lunch.  Special thanks to Idaho/Lewis County Cattle Association members for doing the cooking!
