2026 Cloverbud Fair Participants

While 4-H members have to be 8-18 to compete at the Morgan County Fair, there was still fun to be had for the Cloverbuds Members, ages 5-7 in Morgan County 4-H.  The overall purpose of the 4-H Cloverbuds Program is to foster the development of life skills which are essential for the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical maturation of five to seven year old children.

Cloverbuds members have the opportunity to attend monthly workshops held at the Extension Office where they do activities, such as learning about STEM, completing crafts, and making snacks. These members also attend monthly club meetings where they also do activities. At the Morgan County fair, Cloverbuds can participate in the Fashion Revue, Cake Decorating, and Creative Cooks contests. On Interview Judging day these members had the opportunity to enter in a project they had completed during the year, and get interviewed just like the older members do.  

Most of the youth chose to display the Life is Sweet shirts they made during the 2026 Cloverbuds T-shirt workshop, which they had the opportunity to model during the Fashion Revue on Monday, July 20. Cloverbuds who displayed their t-shirts were: Neal Heyman and Reiko Keehner. These projects were displayed in the Mark Arndt Event Center at the Morgan County Fair Grounds in Brush for the duration of the 2026 Morgan County Fair which ends on July 30.
