County Council

County Council reviewed exciting details for the upcoming 4‑H Showcase and brainstormed future meetings with specific themes, guest speakers, and special topics to explore.
There was a great hit with the crafts featured that night, with members creating multiple holiday projects, followed by a fun white elephant gift exchange that went over really well—and everything was topped off with a celebration featuring Chick‑fil‑A!
