The Bunny Bunch

4-H clubs come and go.  However, some are like the Energizer Bunny, they just keep going and going and…….  The Bunny Bunch has been in existence for over 30 years.

When the Club Meets: The club meets once a month from February through May at the Claridon Town Hall on Mayfield Road in Claridon Township. During the summer (June, July, August), the club meets twice a month at the Rabbit Barn at the Geauga County Fairgrounds. Meetings are held at 7 p.m. on Thursday nights.

Advisors:  Shirley Hale – Head Advisor. Gloria Freeman – Cloverbud Advisor. Assistant Advisors: Bev Johnson, Amber Hale, Joanne Leichtman, Ellie Rickers, Cathy Pitorak Sweet, and Abby Sweet.

Club Focus:  Each member works on a 4-H project book such as Pet Rabbit, Rabbit Breeding, or Market Rabbit. Members compete against themselves and their knowledge of rabbits at Skillathon in late July. Breed judging and Showmanship competition take place at Great Geauga County Fair Labor Day weekend.

Other Club Activities:  In addition to project work, community service is very important to the Bunny Bunch. We have done a wide variety of things, such as taking our rabbits to visit nursing home residents, collecting food and pet supplies, and painting fences at the Fairgrounds.

How to Join:  For more information, please contact Bev Johnson at 440-285-9326. Since the club is large, enrollment is closed at times.
