Easter Greetings 4-Hers!

             I have so much to share that I don’t even know where to begin!  So much is happening in Holmes County 4-H and it is WONDERFUL to be growing as fast as we are! 

             The United Clovers are working hard to begin their first community service project for their club:  Adopt-A-Highway!  We are excited at the opportunity to keep our community clean and be recognized for it with a neat road sign with our club name.  Stay tuned for the latest on our adoption process!

             I just finished setting up my first Holmes County Fair Booth at the  Florida State Fair  and it looked FABULOUS.  I was so proud at all of the hard work that went into making the booth AWESOME.  We placed 7th place in the state, which I think is a great effort!!  Be sure to check out our picture in this newsletter and also on our website—which is still under construction!

             There is so much to do in 4-H this Spring.  I hope you are hopping about like me and enjoying the beautiful weather and fun activities.  If you have a friend that wants to get involved, be sure to bring them to the 4-H meeting.  And, be sure to read the article about the delicious 4-H ice cream coming soon!  What a tasty treat!

                                            Hoppy Easter!!
