    My family and I attended today and this event is wonderful. My grandchildren were thrilled to see all the poultry and animals and that they could pet them. I was amazed at the 4H’ers knowledge, friendliness and ability to talk with strangers about their animals. No matter who/what age we talked with we recognized they are SMART!
    Thanks for a wonderful day.
