Benton County Friends of 4-H receive donation from Prairie Creek Sports Club.

For the last few years at the Benton County Fair, the Prairie Creek Sports Club, a division of Whitetails Unlimited, presents a check in the amount of $3000 to the Benton County Friends of 4-H.

Friends of 4-H was established in 2015 to raise funds to provide scholarships to local 4-Hers wanting to expand their 4-H experience. They are a committee under the guidance of the Benton County Extension Council. Monies donated have been used to fund CWF Citizen Washington Focus, a trip taken to Washington D.C. where the 4-Her spends time at the U.S Capitol, learning hands on about Legislative process.

Various camps and clinics, such as Junior Camp and Equine and Beef Clinics. Funding has also been used to support the Intermediate trip to several locations and Legislative trips to the Des Moines Capitol Complex. Friends of 4-H also contributes to the Benton County Livestock Judging and Livestock Quiz bowl Teams who have represented Benton County and Iowa at National Competitions.

Friends of 4-H also hosts a Roller Skating Party for Benton County 4-Hers and Clover buds each fall and a Youth Barn Party each year at the Benton County Fair. The Benton County Extension Council and the Friends of 4-H would like to thank the Prairie Creek Sports Club for their continued support of Benton County 4-H program.
