According to Kentucky: By The Numbers, Breathitt County’s poverty rate was at 34.3% in 2016. Breathitt County’s Agent for 4-H Youth Development believes that the best way to combat this issue is to teach the children of Breathitt County about the leadership skills they need to achieve, and to be able to overcome the problems of poverty. One of the agents focuses for the 4-H program of Breathitt County is to take 4-H’ers each year to the J.M. Feltner 4-H Camp located in London, Kentucky. At the camp 4-H’ers are able to learn valuable life skills by leading hands-on projects, learning about civic engagement, and the importance of a good education. The cost to attend camp per camper each year has now risen to $225 per camper, and this fee can often be an obstacle to many of the 4-H age youth of Breathitt County. To help remove the majority of this money obstacle the agent aided by his council continued to run the Breathitt County 4-H corn dog booth during the Breathitt County Honey Festival. Once the event was completed the total sales equaled 10,081 corn dogs, and with this money the 4-H’ers of Breathitt County now would only have to pay $25 to attend 4-H camp, which cuts the cost of camp by 89%.
