Don't forget we are partnering with the local Farm Bureau offices and Black Hawk East to sponsor a Fall Equine Seminar. There are two sessions left to attend, which will take place on November 12 and 19. This event is free to 4-H members, FFA and BHE students or $9 per person per session. Contact our office to get registered for the last two sessions today. We hope to see you there!
We also have a few spots left for our 4-H sponsored Holiday Shopping Trip to Downtown Chicago. This trip is scheduled for December 5. The bus will leave around 8 AM and will return around 8 PM. The cost is $45 per seat with a first come, first serve basis. Start a new tradition with your family and friends and reserve your seat now!
As an additional side note, our office will be closed in observance of Thanksgiving on November 26 and 27. Have a great turkey day!
