The Big Sandy Mountaineer -

4-H, the nation’s largest youth development organization, grows confident young people who are empowered for life today and prepared for career tomorrow. 4-H programs empower nearly six million young people across the U.S. through experiences that develop critical life skills. 4-H is the youth development program of our nation’s Cooperative Extension System and USDA, and serves every county and parish in the U.S. through a network of 110 public universities and more than 3000 local Extension offices. Globally, 4-H collaborates with independent programs to empower one million youth in 50 countries. The research-backed 4-H experience grows young people who are four times more likely to contribute to their communities; two times more likely to make healthier choices, and two times more likely to be civically active.

Our 4-H Fair superintendents play a major role in the development of our Chouteau County youth. The Chouteau County Extension office would like to recognize these volunteers for their time and dedication as 4-H Superintendents of the Chouteau County Fair.
