Cloverbuds
The Cloverbud area of 4-H is a great opportunity for future 4-Hers (children ages five to seven) to get a head start on 4-H and to get the feel of what 4-H is all about. At Achievement Days, Cloverbuds can show in any area of static exhibits and are allowed to show one animal. Once their exhibits have been shown to the judge, they get to choose their own preferred color of ribbon.  Sanborn County Cloverbuds who exhibited at this year’s Achievement Days include:
