Claire said her favorite project and favorite part of being in 4-H is raising and showing rabbits. “One of the highlights of being in 4-H is participating in fairs and showing animals,” she said. “For
me, that means sharing my love of rabbits – teaching the public about proper rabbit care and letting young children get hands-on experience by petting them.”
What has she learned over the past year from being involved in 4-H? “I learned how to take better care of rabbits, and gained experience showing a variety of animals during my first year in Round Robin.”
