4-H delivers life skills
These days Tom Garrison is a seasoned American farmer. He’s a fourth generation farmer who runs Denver Downs and his father, Ed Garrison, was the namesake for Clemson’s T-Ed Garrison Arena near campus. Even though he grew up in a farm family, Garrison counts his childhood experience in 4-H as invaluable. Garrison said, “It teaches you so much that is so applicable to your adult life. It’s followed me all these years – and made me who I am.” Garrison was the banquet speaker for this year’s 4-H Congress at the Madren Center.
