Limecreek Livewires 4-H member Hunter Robertson, son of Rachel and Jeremy Robertson, oversees his Clover Kid mentee Jack Green before the Clover Kid Rabbit show. Green is the son of John and Amy Green and a member of the Brighton Lucky Clovers.
Washington County Clover Kid first and second-grade members had their time to show on Wednesday, July 19th, at the Clover Kid Rabbit Show. Washington County 4-H Clover Kids had the opportunity to learn more about the rabbit project through a special mentoring program which then gives them their very own County Fair Rabbit Class. Interested 1st and 2nd grade Clover Kids were paired with older 4-H rabbit project members. The Clover Kids and mentors met prior to the show. This meeting allowed the 4-H mentor to teach the Clover Kid about caring for rabbits and how to show them. Many of the Clover Kids learned about feeding, breeds, and proper handling of the rabbits. Clover Kids showed one of their mentor’s rabbits. The partnership of the Clover Kids and the 4-H mentors has resulted in a renewed excitement of the rabbit project, new friendships, and a wealth of learning.
