Clover Ball 2023

Wow, we had a great 5th annual Clover Ball in Tucson this year. The Clover Ball kicks off our AZ 4-H Summit for our teen 4-H youth who get to spend a week at the University of Arizona campus with a focus around one of our Great 8 programs. Those of you who were 4-Hers in the 70’s and 80’s will remember this event as “Arizona Round-up”.

Thanks to our Key Partner, the Arizona Farm Bureau and our table sponsors:

  • Hickman Farms

  • Hughes Federal Credit Union

  • Bingham Equipment Company

  • Capstone Copper

  • Baird Financial

  • Hoffman's Dairy Queen

  • The Estes Co.

  • Dairy Council of Arizona

  • Kari Petterson

These organizations and companies made this experience low cost for youth to attend. Thank you!  Your passion to support our outstanding youth in the 4-H program is amazing and we appreciate you.
