4-H August, 2014

On Friday, August 15 at 4:30 p.m. 4-H members, leaders and parents

will be cleaning stalls in the livestock building. We need all the help

we can get. So grab your rakes and shovels and come on out!

Clubs get your truck decorated for the parade on Saturday Aug 23rd.

We want to have a good showing of the 4-H for the parade. We will

be taking pictures of the trucks and voting on them at the 4-H Ban-

quet in November. The club that gets the most votes will get a Pizza

Party. Club leaders and members please support this; it is such a

good way to advertise 4-H.

Communi ty Club The September Community Club meeting would have been on Mon-

$6.00. That is a savings of $8.00 per person. Hope to see you there!

sign-up. Please give the office a call if you are at all interested in this.
