Awards Night

Some are receiving an email that has a different date than what is listed on this graphic. I just wanted to clarify the awards night will be on October 28th from 6pm-8pm at the River Valley Social.

 

If you have received this email when registering please disregard it, it was being recycled from an old survey and we have corrected it. Anyone who registers should not receive it now. It was fixed earlier this week.

 

Thank you to the 4-H committee for giving us the opportunity to hold this event! We hope to see you there. If you plan on attending please register using the link listed in the previous blog post!
