Barrineau Park 4-H has been collecting peanut butter to help with this event. Each member was encouraged to contibute a jar and they were delivered to the extension office. Barrineau Park gives back to the community and they will be helping with the distribution during Farm City Week. Very proud of this great group of future leaders.
