Junior Posse & 4h club

It’s summer and the kids are out of school. This year it’s worth checking out the local 4-H programs or the Jr Posse to not only give your kids something fun to do, but providing an environment where they can take something from it as well. Jr Posse sticks more to the heritage of Northern Utah than 4-H does, but both offer specialized teachings designed to help your child be more successful.

Trail and the Lake Side Trail Loop, take a trip to Antelope Island, keeping in mind the entrance fee. The Bone Road Trail is also found on Antelope Island, however the Pioneer Trail entrance is located at 2750 N. Mountain Road, at the Pioneer Trailhead.

Nothing is more Western than an oldfashioned rodeo, and the best rodeo you’ll find in Northern Utah is at Ogden Pioneer Days. The event not only celebrates the founding of Ogden, Utah, but also serves to highlight the local community on the national level. Harman Peery, as many of you know, held high ambitions for this festival; today, more than 30,000 people swing through each year just to get a taste of who we are, where we came from, and what we’re all about! It’s safe to say our old Mayor’s dreams were successful.

While Jr Posse focuses on barrels, poles, keyhole, four in a row, speed barrels, water race, and grand entry, 4-H has a variety of programs available from agricultural, to youth leadership, and to STEM. Both groups are fantastic options for a productive summer, and both can teach valuable lessons and skills needed for future careers in fun and interactive environments.
