We are incredibly proud of all 13 of our Country Ham participants and the work they put into seeing this project through from start to finish.

โ€ผ๏ธAnd their Country Ham year isnโ€™t quite finished yet!โ€ผ๏ธ

All 13 Pendleton County 4-H Country Ham participants will auction off their hams on Sunday, September 20 at 4:00 PM! We hope youโ€™ll join us to support these kids, celebrate their hard work and maybe even take home a Pendleton County 4-H country ham of your own!

A pretty special State Fair day for our whole Pendleton County 4-H Country Ham crew! ๐Ÿ’š

Cloverbud Natural Resources Day was held on July 28th at Kincaid Lake State Park. Our 4-Her, Abigail, hosted as part of her Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences (NRESci) Academy project.

The participating 'Buds read the book ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—Ÿ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ธ and talked about taking the time to listen to the world around them. Everyone hiked to the bridge on the meditation trail, pausing to collect interesting items and observe their surroundings. The kids created a collage with their found items, and Abigail read the book ๐—œ ๐—”๐—บ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ. The kids finished with a gallery walk to share their artwork with each other and some free time on the playground!

Thank you to all of the ๐Ÿ€Cloverbuds and parents who supported Abigail and her service project and for acknowledging the importance of Natural Resources Education and leadership opportunities for our Pendleton County Youth!
