Washington County 4-H Clover Kids participate in Rabbit Show

Washington County Clover Kid first and second-grader members had their time to show on Wednesday, July 19 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.

Clover Kid participants included: Lucy Carter, Ryker Myers, Ryan Berdo, Taytum Flynn, Ledger Milldege, Emilia Rodgers, Tenley McGuire, Avery Rabbitt,

Charlotte Langr, Jackson Marsh, Paxton Davis, Maverick Allen, Kassidi Marek, Jason Baughman, and Jack Green. 4-H mentors included: Reese Rood, Isabelle Duvall, Blake Peck, Adelyn Kleopfer, Braydon Clough, Annie Morrison, Shauna Sublette, and Hunter Robertson.

4-H Clover Kids are youth in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade. For more information about Clover Kids and 4-H, please contact the Washington County Extension Office, 319-653-4811, or check the web at www.extension.iastate.edu/washington.
