Welcome to Ottawa County 4-H!            

We are a unique 4-H program located in West Michigan. Members in Ottawa County 4-H may participate in three different fairs! For information on each of the three fairs go directly to their web sites by using the links to the right.

If you have children interested in finding a 4-H club to join, please e-mail us at ottawa4h@yahoo.com and ask to be sent a map of our clubs. With over 100 clubs to choose from there is bound to be one that is just right for your family. Kids in Ottawa County 4-H clubs participate in all kinds of animal projects including; beef, sheep, swine, horses, dairy cattle, goats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, cats, and pocket pets. We also have many youth in sewing, crafts, fine arts and other learning projects. In addition we have a teen club which is designed to teach teens about leadership and citizenship.

In short there is something for everyone!

We look forward to serving you.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Wells Ph.D.
