4-H Clubs Exhibit at Pet Expo


Montgomery County 4-H participated in the Greater Philadelphia Pet Expo, Friday November 6 through Sunday November 8, which was held at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA. Throughout the weekend, 4-H members passed out informational brochures and were available to answer questions. A computerized slide show ran continuously, highlighting various club programs, horse shows and the 4-H fair. Banners, project posters, and photographs were on display. The club scrapbooks were available to look through and served as a visual explanation of each club’s activities.

The animals exhibited by 4-H members were a big hit. The public was able to meet and pet mini horses, goats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and Seeing Eye puppies.

The Expo provided an opportunity for Club members to reach out to the general public to show how 4-H has evolved from the traditional clubs to a large variety of non-traditional clubs. Livestock, dairy, horse, dog, cat, poultry, rabbits, sewing, beekeeping, gardening, fishing, crafters and Seeing Eye puppy are among those offered for children between the ages of 8 and 19 to join. Special projects such as 4-H State Achievement Days, the Exchange Program, Leadership Conference and Capitol Days were also highlighted.
