Lexington, KY – This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the 4-H program in Kentucky. And while 4-H's beginnings are in agriculture, today, young people can participate in clubs that explore everything from rocketry to communication skills. In fact, in 2008, more than 233-thousand young Kentuckians participated in 129 different 4-H programs, projects and camps. From the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Carol Spence reports.
