Bull Bash is February 13, only two weekends away. The 4-H Council has been working hard preparing for their annual Luck of the Draw fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who has donated items.
Jody’s also been working on getting the 4-H/FFA Livestock Quiz bowl ready. She and the 4-H Livestock Committee have made a couple small changes that I think you’ll like.
We hope you will stop by Cedar Canyon Steakhouse on Saturday during Bull Bash and participate in the 4-H fun.
