She said there will be some typical crafts and activities they would experience at a 4-H meeting. There are currently 12 4-H Clubs in Pike County. Some are specific clubs called project clubs, like the horse and shooting sports clubs. Other are com- munity clubs that have a more general focus. There are more than 70 different project areas for 4-Hers to participate. They also have Mini-4-H Clubs for kids in grades K to second grade. While they do projects, they don't com- pete for ribbons at the county 4-H Fair. Enrollment in a mini-club is $5.
