​AT BOOTS & BUCKLES DBA THE GIGGLING LIFE 

WE FACILITATE A 4-H CLUB AND CLOVERBUDS:

​

4‑H is a Community for all Kids!

In 4‑H, we believe in the power of young people. We see that every child has valuable strengths and real influence to improve the world around us.

​

What is 4‑H?

4‑H programs are grounded in the belief that kids learn best by doing. Kids and teens complete hands-on projects in areas like science, health, agriculture and civic engagement, in a positive environment where they receive guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive leadership roles. Kids can concentrate on one focus area or they can try a variety of programs throughout their 4‑H experience.

​

We are thrilled to have started our own 4-H Club right here at the Giggling Life Care Farm! Boots & Buckles Livestock & 4-H Club

​

Here are the 4-H Programs GL will offer in 2025: ​

• Cloverbuds: Youth ages 5-7 can join in fun non-competitive activities. (Explained below)

• Table Top Projects: Ages 8-18 can enjoy amazing projects such as: Vet science, rocketry, cooking, cake decorating, archery, & so much MORE! You can find them at Adam's County 4-H here: http://adams.colostate.edu/4h/projects.htm

• Livestock Program: Ages 8-18 can participate in our Livestock Lease Program. Normally, youth interested in Livestock Programs would purchase their livestock animal and raise it at their property, however, here at GL, we allow you to lease one of our sheep to show at our Adam's County Fair in late July/beginning August. We want everyone to be able to experience the benefits of raising livestock...even if they are not able to at their own homes! (More animals TBD...more details explained below!)

• Poultry Program: Youth ages 8-18 can participate in our Poultry Program. They can lease and raise poultry to be able to show at the Adams County Fair in late July/beginning August. (Details listed below.)

• Market Livestock Program: Youth ages 8-18 that have leased an animal for at least 1 year, can participate in our Market Livestock Program. They will be able to purchase their sheep for market purposes and lease land form GL to raise it on during the 4H season. They will then sell that animal in the Adams County Fair Auction. (More details listed below.)

• More programs will be coming in the future!
