SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- It’s been 20 or 30 years since the last one but the city again has a 4-H Club. The Springfield Aggies, as they're called, met for the first time on Monday night at the Rutledge-Wilson Farm Park.
So far, 24 kids ages 8 to 18 are signed up. They'll focus on computers, robotics, food and nutrition, and horticulture, as well as animals. Leaders are trying to break the stereotype that it's solely a rural organization.
Six more kids are signed up for 4-H Clover Kids, which is for 5- to 7-year-old children.
