OSWEGO COUNTY – Oswego County proclaimed October as 4-H Month to mark the centennial anniversary of the program.

For one year, from October 1, 2021 through September 31, 2022 the county is dedicated to celebrating this milestone and commending the staff and volunteers of Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Oswego County for their commitment to young people.

CCE serves Oswego County residents in a variety of ways, including the 4-H program, with support from the County Legislature. Since 1921, generations of youth have benefitted from 4-H; learning life skills to help them become upstanding citizens and serve their communities.

Three generations of the Edwards-Jamerson family, who all participate in the 4-H program, along with staff of CCE, received a proclamation from the Legislature’s Economic Development and Planning Committee.
