And They’re Off to the Emeralds & Clovers Gala

The Lawrence County 4-H Council proudly presents the 2nd annual Emeralds & Clovers Gala on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the Lawrence County 4-H Fairgrounds Expo Hall. Inspired by the spirit of youth development and the rich traditions of 4-H, this year’s theme—“Run for the Clover”—invites guests to an evening steeped in Kentucky Derby charm, southern elegance, lively entertainment, and meaningful giving.

More than just a night at the races, the Emeralds & Clovers Gala celebrates the incredible impact 4-H has on local youth. Proceeds will directly support scholarships, educational trips, youth awards, and leadership development programs—helping young individuals stay the course and cross the finish line as tomorrow’s leaders.

Dress Code:
Guests are encouraged to dress in their Derby best! Think classic race-day style—floral dresses, bold colors, statement hats, fascinators, bow ties, and sharp blazers. Whether you go full Churchill Downs chic or keep it comfortably refined, bring your best “Run for the Clover” flair—where elegance meets fun.

Get Involved:
We invite local businesses, organizations, and individuals to join the winner’s circle by becoming an event sponsor or contributing to the silent auction. Your support helps ensure that 4-H youth continue to thrive through opportunity, recognition, and hands-on experiences.

Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are now available. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this exciting first-year event—where every stride supports a powerful cause!
