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.

A member of the community club entered their jam in the 2017 Cloverville Division and received Grand Champion in Food Preservation.
