Early Ringgold County 4-H Clubs
Early 4-H Clubs consisted of two clubs for a community - one for girls and one for boys. In the early 1960's, when I joined 4-H, girls had to be a member of
both a girls club and a boys club and the girl had to have been a member of a girls club for at least two years.Some early Ringgold County 4-H clubs, as known,
