On April 8, 2024, the Cheyenne County 4-H council held a meeting in the Kit Carson School’s flex area. There were 12 youth present: five members from Happy Go Lucky, five from Sand Creek, and two from Old Wells. The meeting was called to order at 6:39 p.m. Rock-paper-scissors games were played as a Spark activity. Spark activities are played to move people around, so they sit by a new person each meeting. The pledge of allegiance was led by Kenzie Brossman, and the 4-H pledge was led by Kendra Wendt.
