4H clubs recruit,
announce program at open house
GREENVILLE – “I want to explore the outdoors,” said 8-year-old Carley
Timmerman. Is she interested in cows or pigs? She wrinkled her nose as
she thought about it. “No,” she said, finally. This will be Carley’s
first year in 4H. She just turned eight. The outdoors captures her

Her big sister, Brooke, was a State Alternate in the Safe Use of Guns
for her first 4H project. According to dad, Nick, Brooke has been to
State two out of three times.
Carley’s little sister, Lexi, half listened half fooled with the
display set up by the Versailles Busy Beavers 4H Club. She’s four and a
half, but wants to be in 4H when she’s old enough. Do you know what you
will want to do? She shrugged her shoulders. Too soon to tell yet…
She will have over two dozen individual options – from Animal Sciences
and Clothing and Textile Science to Child and Family Development – to
choose from; or she can participate in a group program, such as natural
resources or leadership and citizenship. She can even choose her own
“Self-Determined” option.
Sixteen Darke County 4H clubs shared these and other activities with
approximately 70 visitors to the 4H Open House at the Lighthouse
Christian Center March 9...
