Special MSU Basketball Event:  4-H Day with the MSU Women’s Basketball Team
On Sunday, January 25, 2009 at 2:00 p.m., MSU Extension 4-H Youth and their families are invited to join thousands of 4-H'ers from across the state at MSU’s Breslin Center to cheer on the MSU Women’s Basketball Team as they take on Wisconsin. As always, this event celebrates 4-H volunteers and youth, but this year, we’ll pay special tribute to our volunteers and youth who are participating in 4-H’s entrepreneurial activities.  Most new jobs are created by small businesses, so what more important skills could 4-H teach young people than how to plan, create, market and sustain their own businesses?  Several of these creative entrepreneur clubs will have their wares on display for you to browse and purchase, so don’t miss this chance to support Michigan’s youth business owners and future job creators!
