""4-H at the "Joe"
In recognition of the Michigan State University Extension's 4-H Youth Development Program, the Detroit Red Wings are pleased to extend a special savings on tickets to select November & December home games. Each package includes 2 tickets to the game, 2 hot dogs, and 2 soft drinks for only $48. That's a savings of over 50% off box office prices!

""Special MSU Basketball Event:  4-H Day with the MSU Women’s Basketball Team
On Saturday, January 9, 2010 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 Ohio. This event celebrates 4-H volunteers and youth, and this year, we’ll focus on Michigan 4-H Nutrition, Health and Well-Being programs. There will be activities and displays to help Michigan residents make smart food choices, learn about nutrition and apply what they learn, manage their food budget, manage chronic disease, prevent disease and improve their overall physical, mental and social well-being.
