The future of Washington County 4-H looks bright as an active group of 3rd-grade Clover Kids celebrated their graduation during the 2024 Washington County Fair. This fall, they are all invited to join the Washington County 4-H program as 4th graders when the new 4-H year starts in September. A total of 36 3rd graders participated in Clover Kids this year, with 24 in attendance at the graduation ceremony, where they received a special diploma, cap, and 4-H keepsake bag. Each graduate was announced by their Clover Kid club leader. Clover Kids are youth in grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade who traditionally meet once a month with their club to play games, experiment, craft, and explore in non-competitive ways. Washington County has nine Clover Kids clubs with more than 150 active members this past year.
