This document summarizes a collaborative project between Lenawee County 4H, The Tile Shop, and Lenawee Now. The project involved youth creating 2x2 tile signs to improve curb appeal at the county fair. It provided an educational, hands-on activity for youth to learn tile-making skills while developing the community. The outcome was successful in providing a fun, safe, and valuable learning experience for involved youth, though some goals were missed due to time, attendance, and other challenges.
