All three go together! In Durand, the Pepin County 4-H held a pumpkin-decorating program at the library. The library provided the venue, and 4-H provided everything else. The event was open to the public, free for the library, promoted 4-H to the community, and allowed kids a chance to spread their creative wings. Win-win-win! Not only that, but now the library has some terrific October decorations they didn’t even have to make.
