4-H Club Highlight...

The Livestock Legends 4-H Club is a very diverse group of youth who participate in both livestock and general projects. One thing they strive on is the older youth helping the younger ones with questions and understanding how to work with and care for their animals. They also do a lot of community service and outreach which has included Adopt-A-Highway, project Christmas Child, making ornaments with residents as assisted living homes and many more. The club members like to have fun and learn!

4-H Club Highlight...The Darling Thunderbirds 4-H Club has a great base of youth and volunteers that has continued to grow over the years. The club has deep roots in community service work. The club wrote for a grant and received it to fill a community pantry to help those in need. They were creative about being able to stock the pantry with fresh grocery items by finding support from the local grocery store to provide coupons to redeem fresh items. The club is active, learning about all sorts of projects within their group, food and nutrition, rabbits, art, cloverbuds, service work and lots more!
