Easton Meredith wants people to know about the opportunities that young people can have while in 4-H.

Easton is a member of the Carnduff & Area Beef 4-H Club. He joined the Carievale club for a year, took a year off, and then joined the Carnduff Club, where he is in his fifth year.

He decided to join 4-H because he was looking for a new opportunity. His parents, who operate a cattle and grain farm, suggested 4-H. Easton decided on the Carnduff club because he had heard good things about their leadership.

"Their leaders are really good at helping out the new kids and helping them find their way in 4-H," said Easton.

It's proven to be a great opportunity for Easton. Everybody is really friendly in the club and people are eager to help others.

Each year the members of the Carnduff club go on a trip somewhere different, he said. Last year they went to a fish farm. This year's plans include a skiing trip and an auction mart.

"You get to meet new people and you get to be around a bunch of people that like 4-H," said Easton, who has made a lot of friends through 4-H.

He has met people from other clubs through the regional 4-H Show and Sale that is held in Alameda each year. He knew a fair amount about cattle before joining the Carnduff club, but he's learned even more, thanks to keeping record books, preparing for the sale and learning how cattle prices fluctuate.

Easton has also been part of 4-H's public speaking program.
