Every year at this time I, Zoe Cole, member of the Lehigh County 4-H Coop Club, look forward to the Allentown Fair. As 4-H members we are all obligated to submit\u00a0an entry into the fair based on our project throughout the year. For me it is one of the best parts of being\u00a0a 4-H member! I enter my project along with artwork such as paintings, ceramics, photography, and I especially love making posters about new areas I wish to learn about to present to others.<\/p>\n

I originally\u00a0found out about the 4-H Coop Club at the Allentown Fair back in 2019 and knew it was a club I would want to join since\u00a0it\u00a0included all kinds of small animals. Some members of the club have chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, or dogs. During my 4 years in the Coop Club my projects have included hamsters, gerbils, mice, and rats.<\/p>\n

This year the Coop Club, like many other 4-H clubs, submitted a scrapbook into the Allentown Fair showcasing our members’ presentations throughout the year. As well as a tri-fold display board of our club’s activities\u00a0and community service events. The Lehigh County 4-H Coop Club meets every third Wednesday of the month, come check us out!<\/p>\n

Many educational and fun activities are offered by 4-H in Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, 4-H is coordinated by Penn State Cooperative Extension through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 4-H programs are open to all youths regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or disability. For more information about the above events or other 4-H activities, call the 4-H office in your county: Lehigh 610-391-9840 or LehighExt@psu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n
