The last meeting of the Hardin Co. Hootenannies was held at advisor Grant Mizek’s farm. President Megan Williams opened the meeting and asked Riley Fleece to lead the American Pledge and Callie Cromer to lead the 4-H Pledge. Roll call was taken by secretary Miranda Holbrook and she asked us to respond with our favorite farm animal. Eleven members were present.

T-shirt money was due today; however, Grant Mizek informed the members that he had a donor who wanted to pay for the member’s t-shirts. We were all thrilled by this kindness. We will have a thank you card ready for everyone to sign at our next meeting.
