4H Club Packets are Ready For Pick Up !!! Join 4-H in 2012!
4-H Clubs are like people, no two are exactly alike! Finding the right fit is important not only for the new members but also for the parents. Gallia County currently has over 70 4-H clubs to choose from. Some clubs are specialty clubs with all the members required to take the same project, for example: 4-H Horse clubs, Shooting Sports club, or 4-H Dog Clubs. Others are Community clubs with members taking a large variety of projects. Some clubs though not a specialty club may have one particular project that most of the members take, for instance swine projects, or cattle projects. Other clubs may require its members to take a non-animal project as well as the traditional animal projects. Others still may take no animal projects at all.

Other clubs may have as few as 5 members. Some may have members of all ages; others may have members all about the same age. See Ohio 4H for more information.
