Partnering with the library, we will be hosting an informational meeting about the programs available through 4-H and the library for little Lego builders! Programs include Cloverbud Engineering Adventure, the Cloverbud state-wide showcase, and getting involved with the brick building group at the Mt Vernon public library. We encourage youth in grades K-5 to attend with and emphasis on Cloverbuds (grades K-2).
Please join us at the Mount Vernon Middle School on November 9, 2023 to celebrate the accomplishments of the Knox County 4-Hers! Please arrive at 6:30pm with a dessert to share so we can recognize county projects awards, older youth membership, state fair participants, and Cloverbud graduation. Dress is casual for this family friendly event.

We are in need of some volunteers to lend a hand with the upcoming Cloverbud Activities. Older youth (grades 7 and up) are welcome to volunteer! This is an great way to add some leadership or community service experiences in their project books for 2024! Future Camp Counselors looking for hours are encouraged to reach out! Activities will already be planned and prior experience isn’t needed: we will need hands to help run the activities. Each event will need 4-6 volunteers. These events are open to any Cloverbud age child, prior 4-H membership isn’t required.
Oct 25 – Trunk-or-Treat : pass out treats/candy, assist with archery equipment, range safety, costumes are a plus!
Nov 11 – Veteran’s Day : seeking veterans to assist in round- robin type activities: flag folding, pledge, reading books, making thank you cards, etc.
Dec 14 – Winter Weather : emergency survival, snowflakes, weather, winter treats, etc.
Please contact Lindsey (vangundy.44@osu.edu) for more information, or to confirm for an event.

All clubs are able to sign up for a booth space this year! We encourage all clubs to reserve a space! This is how members will display their exhibits for still projects. Let’s make our booth building an exciting place to visit! We need full booths, interesting exhibits and displays, and most important, welcoming 4-H members on patrol.
UPDATE: Clubs will not be needed for Sunday, July 16. Booth set-up night is Wednesday, July 19 from 3:00-8:00pm. During the construction time on July 19th, clubs wanting their own booths may allow members may check in projects. They must check in projects with Lindsey during that time. Clubs with booths are responsible for filling 4 hours of “booth patrol” during the week of fair. That sign-up is also below.
In order to receive the premium for a still project, it must be displayed in the booth building the entire week of fair. Still projects may be checked in Friday July 21 from 4:00-8:00pm or Saturday July 22 from 8:00am-12:00pm. No late arrivals will be accepted. **Remember: a project book is NOT an exhibit.** Cloverbuds will also have a specific booth to display any projects during the week.
