Grace Carter and Gimli the Polish Rabbit join Jacksonville’s Morning News on behalf of the 4-H UF Extension, and discuss the role of 4-H not just as an agricultural education program, but also as a STEM and social confidence program. Visit the 4-H exhibit and say hi to Gimli when you visit the Fair!
