4-Her’s stay busy with projects, trips
By Chuck Thompson
News Editor
It began 80 years ago as Com Clubs
for boys and Tomato Clubs for girls.
At that time, just about everyone in
Georgia lived on farms, but today,
members of the 4-H Club come from
many different environments, includ
ing farms, suburbs and large cities.
In 1983, participation in the 4-H
Club was more than 4.6 million na
tionwide. Forsyth County alone has
about 1,000 4-H’ers, according to Ex
tension Agent Clark Beusse.
With National 4-H Week (Oct. 6-12)
approaching, the achievements of the
club, and the many opportunities it
offers to members are being recog
nized.
When 4-H first began, boys in Com
Clubs would try to grow an acre of the
biggest ears of com, while girls in
Tomato Clubs would grow, harvest
and can tomatoes from their family’s
garden.
Participation in these clubs was not
a game for young people. Instead, it
helped them learn valuable skills that
would benefit their entire family.
Today’s 4-H Club is an educational
program for boys and girls ages 9-19.
It is provided through the Georgia
Extension Service, with cooperation
from county governments, the Uni
versity of Georgia and the U.S. De
partment of Agriculture.
Beusse says there are 18 different 4-
H clubs in Forsyth County at the
elementary, junior high and high
school levels.
Individuals in the sth through 12th
grades have an opportunity to join 4-
H, and take part in monthly meet
ings.
Activities enjoyed by 4-H’ers in
Forsyth County last year included
Heard reunion
is scheduled
The annual Heard reunion will be
held Sunday, Oct. 6 at Coal Mountain
Baptist Church.

trips to Whitewater and Six Flags,
panning for gold in Dahlonega, sum
mer classes on photography and a
trip to the State Capitol.
Noting that 4-H offers variety,
Beusse says activites may be as
varied as taking a trip in an airplane,
going to Warm Springs to visit the
Little White House, or going to the
Fox Theater to see “The Nut
cracker.”
Fall activities planned for the club
include outings for older 4-H’ers, and
a Halloween party for younger club
members.
One of the biggest opportunities for
4-H Club members is project competi
tion.
Beusse says there are about 60
projects to choose from ranging from
“cows to computers.”
Forsyth County is located in the
North-Central Extension District,
which consists of 18 counties, and
District winners go on to participate

in state competition.
Eight 4-H’ers from Forsyth County
took part in the last state competition
the largest number of competitors
sent by any county in Georgia.
Another aspect of 4-H is trips to one
of five camps in Georgia.
Perhaps the most popular of these
camps is Rock Eagle, near Eatonton,
which has the capacity for 1,000 club
members at one time.
Other camps include Camp Wah
sega, in the mountains; Camp Fulton,
just outside Atlanta; Camp Chatham,
located on an island near Savannah;
and the Jekyll Island 4-H Center.
Compared to other Georgia coun
ties, Forsyth has one of the top 4-H
programs, Beusse says.
He attributes this to the willingness
of local 4-H’ers to work, and the
quality of youth found here.
