The last meeting of the Hardin Co. Hootenannies was at Meadow and Callie Cromer’s farm. President Megan Williams opened and asked Levi Beiler to lead the American Pledge and Laura Spradlin to lead the 4-H Pledge. There were 12 members present, many parents and one special guest.
Everyone was reminded about livestock judging and asked if they needed any last minute help. It is important to have your books completed.
Our sign for the fair is closer to being done. Different goats are being painted on the 4-H clover. The wonderful artist, Sara Hoenshel, who is going to be painting them, was there to meet us.
