Children and parents alike learned all about 4-H at Rally Night, held on Jan. 29 in the Della Selsor Building on the Madison County Fairgrounds in London. 4-H program representatives answered questions about joining one of the county’s 33 4-H clubs. Activities and information booths filled the building. Visitors also were treated to snacks. Perry Yoder from True Value Hardware in Plain City donated popcorn and the use of the store’s popcorn machine.

Elliot Randall (on bike), 9, of London enjoyed the activity. “I didn’t know you could use pedal power to make electricity to turn the blender,” Randall said.
