Local youth selected for Clovers and Company

Callista Clark, Georgia Hanson and Parker Powers were selected to perform with the nationally acclaimed 4-H performing arts group, Clovers and Company. The Pike County locals will join the 60-member cast which consists of vocalists, dancers, musicians and stagehands from across the state, representing more than 45 counties. This year’s show is entitled ‘We’re Really Not That Different.’Cast members range in age from 10 to 18 and are selected through a rigorous audition process. The growing success of the program has brought more visibility to Georgia 4-H and the performing arts project areas. ’Clovers and Company provides a great opportunity for cast members to mature as performers and focus on developing leadership and showmanship,’ said 4-H county program assistant Penny Cosper.Clovers and Company has been entertaining state and national audiences since 1981. It was established to serve as a public relations effort to advertise the life and vitality of 4-H, and has served its purpose well, having performed before legislative, business and civic leaders throughout Georgia. The group regularly performs before their fellow 4-H members as well as alumna such as Grammy Award-Winning singer and song writer Jennifer Nettles and Grammy song of the year winner Hillary Lindsey. ’Clovers and Company and 4-H has made my dreams come true by allowing me to perform with Jennifer Nettles and meet Miss America and True Leaders,’ said Clark. ‘I was humbled and truly inspired.’
