What Is 4-H?
4-H...More Than You Ever Imagined! Kids in
4-H have fun! It is a youth program that teaches "hands-on" activities.
Whether they are learning about photography, the environment, job skills
or public speaking, young people practice a variety of skills in 4-H that
will last a lifetime. 4-H is open to any youth between the ages of 9 and
21. A pre-4-H Clover Bud Program is available for Kindergarten though
2nd grade children. Many opportunities are available through 4-H, including
WVU/4-H Football and Basketball Day, county and state summer camps, public
speaking contests, judging contests, nature walks and conservation camps,
community service projects, officer training and more.
How Can I Join?
To learn more about becoming
a 4-H member, contact your local 4-H leader or WVU Extension Agent
Leanne Moorman by e-mail, or phone 564-3805,
or stop by the Hancock County Extension Service Office at the New Cumberland
Municipal in New Cumberland. Office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday.
4-H and Livestock
Local 4-H members who wish to raise swine, dairy or beef calfs, chickens
or rabbits can now show their animals at the Hancock
County Oldtime Fair. The Livestock Committee has guidelines
that must be followed. Swine and chickens will be auctioned-off at the
Fair. Money from the auction goes to the 4-Hers college fund.
The Other 4-H Projects
There is more to 4-H than Agriculture. Youth have a choice of over 100
projects. Ranging from electronics
to child care; they can even "create" their own project by choosing
a "Self Determined" project book. All 4-H members are interviewed
in June about their project. Then in September they must have a project
exhibited at the Hancock
County Oldtime Fair.
