Congrats Kids!
The Busy Bees had a busy week and weekend at the Smith County Free Fair, July 16-20. All the kids did a terrific job showing their projects. Fair time is a great experience for youth to learn the benefits of hard work and good effort, giving back and being good role models. So many life-long skills can be taken away from a childhood in 4-H.
Brennan Kirchhoff awarded Reserve Grand Champion with her Market Steer.
Gideon Nelson received Junior Grand Champion in Entomology for his amazing bug collection.
