Salute to 4H 100 YEARS!
I pledge my Head to clearer thinking,
My Heart to greater loyalty,
My Hands to larger service,
My Health to better living
For my club, my community and my country.
4H clubs provide opportunities for youth to develop skills in a wide
range of areas. It is a grassroots organization that encourages a
balanced lifestyle and reminds participants to aim to be a good
friend, mentor, community member and citizen. 4H relies on adult
leaders to share their skills with today’s youth. The Parham Fair
salutes those leaders who have given so much of their time and
energies to make our local 4H clubs possible. Thank you!
