This. 4901 formed as a 4-H club instead of affiliating with a school, and it was a Good Life Decision. Look up your county's extension office; they're all (far as I know) run as an arm of a state college or university. You may have to send a few emails to find a contact, but I know our county agent was very excited to get a FIRST program started.

Most of the options I'd consider have been discussed. Definitely look at shopping centers and malls, especially that one in your town that's been upstaged. (Every town has one of those.)
