Clovers & Co. is composed of talented singers, dancers, musicians and stagehands from the state of Georgia. Cast members range in age from 12 to 18. Interested 4-H'ers from throughout the state audition yearly for the limited number of spots in the show. Several graduates have gone on to careers in the music and entertainment fields on the national level. The show is primarily directed by volunteers, giving many hours to assure that all can be proud of the production.
Clovers & Co. was founded in 1981 to provide an opportunity for 4-H youth to promote and share with others, the excitement, leadership and talent evident in 4-H. Some of their most memorable shows have been for 4-H'ers attending National 4-H Congress in Atlanta, Memphis and Chicago; NAE4-HA 2007 with Clovers Alumnae, Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, and National 4-H Conference in Washington, DC. They have also enjoyed performing at state 4-H events throughout the south, including the states of Texas, Virginia, Mississippi, Kentucky, Arkansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Florida. They continue to serve as key entertainment at state and national conferences for groups such including the National Association of County Agricultural Agents, Georgia Farm Bureau, Association County Commissioners of Georgia, Georgia Association of Educational Leaders, Georgia High School Student Council Conference and many others.
This program is supported in part by Georgia Council for the Arts through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. Georgia Council for the Arts also receives support from its partner agency - the National Endowment for the Arts.
