Chris Clark is reconnecting with his 4-H roots after nearly 20 years as an alum. Inspired by the Tomorrow Needs 4-H campaign, Chris has found, and continues to find, many unique ways to give back to the organization that helped shape him into the person he is today. From partnering with us to give away two floor seats to Taylor Swift, to singing the national anthem at the 2024 TD Canadian 4-H Dairy Classic, to promoting 4-H on his social platforms and in media interviews, Chris claims he’s “only just getting started”.
As Chris transitions to his dream career as a country music artist, and in celebration of his newest single, Bronco, we asked him to reflect on his time in 4-H and share with us the journey that brought him to where he is now.
The Early Days
Born and raised on a dairy farm in Elora, ON, Chris Clark began his 4-H journey at the age of 10 with the Eramosa and Erin Dairy Club. Hooked right out of the gate, he went on to join the Eramosa Goat Club and the 4-H Judging Club.
“I really loved my time at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and the Scotiabank Hays Classic ... I also particularly remember the warm summer night 4-H club meetings and training my calf with my cousins and friends at local farms within Wellington County, we had the best time”.
