PRINCETON — A special youth program for 5- to 7-year-olds is available through the University of Illinois Extension - Bureau County office. The 4-H Cloverbud program is specifically designed to meet the educational needs and interests of this younger age group.

A countywide Cloverbud group exists for youth throughout the county; some 4-H Community Clubs also accept Cloverbud members. Interested individuals and communities may inquire to start their own Cloverbud group.

The Bureau County Cloverbuds group will meet from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Bureau Extension office, 850 Thompson St. in Princeton. The theme for the meeting is “Science Fun: Sinking and Floating.” Participants will do experiments to learn about density and buoyancy. Please note a parent/guardian or older friend (ages 16+) is required to attend the meeting with the child. Families and siblings are welcome.
