4 H Clubs Boost County Through Community Projects
Huron County 4-H clubs sponsored varied efforts over the past year, including a mercury security light for Camp Conger, cookie baking for homes for the aged, clothing drives, and toys for pediatric wards. The Ripley Junior Farmers led the light purchase with help from multiple clubs. Peru Panthers 4-H protected local water quality. Clarksfield Merry Maids completed seven projects in 1964 and produced items for seniors, a toy hour, lap robes, and hospital gifts. The Rawhiders saddle club raised about 1250 dollars for a new 4-H saddle horse barn and earned county honor as an outstanding farm club, aided by Willcox and local sponsors.
