With a desire to increase knowledgeable in the areas of 4-H, Tennessee, Agriculture and Family and Consumer Sciences, the 4-H Clover Bowl began in 1994 in Wilson County. This contest is now available to 64 counties. It is estimated over 9,000 4-H’ers participate in this contest on the county level. The purpose of the Clover Bowl is to acquaint 4-H members with themselves and their surroundings through participating in an enjoyable and educational program. In addition to this main purpose, it is hoped that this program will help participants develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills.
In February, Cannon County had 748 members compete in the school Clover Bowl and 19 teams went on to compete at the county level with Woodland School fourth grade, Woodland School fifth grade, Short Mountain School sixth grade, Woodland School seventh grade and East Side School eighth grade advancing to compete at the Central Region Contest on May 13th at Tennessee Technological University.
Congratulations to each Cannon County team for competing at the Central Region Clover Bowl Contest. For more information about the 4-H program, contact Sarah Malone at the University of Tennessee Extension office at snmalone@utk.edu or 615-563-2554.
