In honor of Doug Summerford, donations are being accepted to sponsor a limited number of students, from Houston County, for upcoming years to the 4-H Summer Camp in Columbiana. “I strongly believe that two of the greatest things 4-H has taught me is to value and appreciate the differences in people; and that it is my responsibility and privilege to help others through service.” Marion Bell2020-21 Alabama 4-H State Ambassador

The 4-H Poultry Project is a long-term project with monthly meetings for members of all skill levels. Youth learn how to care for and raise a poultry flock, show personal growth and knowledge gained through showmanship, make good decisions about their flock’s nutrition and health, excel at biosecurity and food safety, participate in team and individual activities, and demonstrate record-keeping skills and profitability through table egg or hatching egg production.
