Tail Gating

Author: James Cecil

Planning Unit: Clinton County CES

Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming

Plan of Work: Developing Leadership, Life Skills and Social Responsibility

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The Clinton County 4-H Adventure Club provided a safe tail gating opportunity for Clinton County Students before the Clinton County Bulldogs home football games this season.  The Adventure Club leader provided games like football throws, frisby toss and corn hole bag toss.  We cooked hotdogs and smoked sausage and had other snacks.  We had a total of 165 kids and adult volunteers to participate in this safe alternative positive youth development opportunities.  

The 4-H Adventure Club displayed  school spirit and leadership by starting this event before all the home football games.  This provided a safe alternative for the students of the Clinton County School District to do before they attended the home football games.  This models responsibility and leadership for other students to see and hopefully will recruit new members for the 4-H Adventure Club.
