New 4-H Project in Idaho County There is a new 4H Project in Idaho County this year: Travel and Tourism. The project was designed by Candice McHugh and she is leading four young ladies as part of the “pilot project.” The project goals are to educate high-school aged youth on how to plan, budget and book travel. From small weekend trips to international travel, the project teaches its participants to plan early, why people travel, customs and practices in different parts of the world, and how to use booking and itinerary planning apps. While going on an actual trip is not required for the project, this year, its participants: Alaina Lustig, Lillianne Lustig, Halee Rowland and Mikayla Rowland opted to plan and go on a trip to Los Angeles this summer where they will experience local attractions, attend Phantom of the Opera and broaden their culinary experiences by partaking in a variety of cuisines on a 4 day trip. To help with their travel budget, they are raising funds by offering rock painting to commemorate the 250th Birthday of the United States. They supply the rocks, paint, supplies and events. Cost for a rock is $10 or 3 rocks for $20. They will be at the Idaho County Spring Show this weekend at the Idaho County Fairgrounds and at other community events this summer. The painted rocks will be placed in Cottonwood’s Centennial Garden and around the Idaho County Fairgrounds during the Fair this August. |
