Scott County 4-H is excited to welcome Clara Riley, our new YPA (Youth Program Associate) for Scott County! Clara is from Sikeston and is a life-long resident of Scott County. Clara loves horses, cows, goats, and geese, and she looks forward to sharing her experiences and love for the animals with the youth of Scott County. As a new YPA, Clara is most excited to work with youth and get them more involved in their communities. Please give a shout out and help us welcome Clara!
