LIBERTY, NY (January 20, 2015) – The public is invited to an educational evening of culture-inspired youth displays and performances representing diverse profiles from around the world.

Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County (CCESC)’s 4-H Youth Development program will be celebrating its 27th Annual International Night on Friday, January 30 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This free program will be held at the Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center on 64 Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty.

Doors open to the public at 6:30 p.m. for an event featuring the work of CCESC 4-H clubs throughout Sullivan County. Each club or group will represent a specific country from around the globe and provide an interactive, three-dimensional display of the geography, history, culture, and cuisine of their chosen location. Participants can “tour the world” from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. and then settle down for the 10 minute skit or presentation each club brings to the stage, highlighting what they have learned.

Community members are always welcome to visit this family-friendly, popular event. More information about this opportunity or the Sullivan County 4-H Youth Development program can be obtained by calling 845-292-6180 or emailing mlr34@cornell.edu.

4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults. 4-H Members have opportunities to connect to Cornell University, learn through hands-on activities, lead, be inspired, inspire others, and “Make the Best Better”. Anyone can join 4-H with thousands of other New York State members, volunteers, staff, and funders.
