Clinton County 4-H Fair is over for Clinton County with record numbers attending the fair.
When we think of the fair most think of the food and rides. We need to remember the reason for the fair. It is the many many hours that our kids put into the 4-H fair raising livestock for some and others enter other things such as baking, photos, sewing, and much more to compete in showing and competing with many others.
4-H is America’s largest youth development organization empowering youth to lead for a lifetime.
Today we would like to spotlight a couple of 10 year 4-H kids because it marks the end of their 4-H career as they move on to college and begin adulthood.
