In the summer of 2015, the FCS Agent along with the Program Assistant offered several 4-H Project Days where Edmonson County youth could come in and participate in and create 4-H Projects for County & State Fair Entries. One youth became very interested in food preservation and 4-H Programs through these summer project days. After realizing the vast programs offered by and the benefits of 4-H after visiting Cloverville for the first time of her parents became new volunteers for the Edmonson County 4-H Program and established two new Community 4-H Clubs in Edmonson County.
In the summer of 2016, the FCS agent offered food preservation classes where the community club leaders attended to learn more about safe food preservation. In the summer of 2017, with the assistance of the FCS agent, the community club leaders hosted a club food preservation workshop so youth could make strawberry jam to enter in Rally Day for the state fair. A member of the community club entered their jam in the 2017 Cloverville Division and received Grand Champion in Food Preservation.
