What are You Thankful For?
November is a month that many reflect on things that they are thankful for. I am thankful for many
things and one of them is our 4-H Club family. I am thankful for the memories, friendships and life
lessons that these animal projects give to everyone involved.
We had a busy 10 days at the Greater Gulf State Fair and wish to congratulate all the members
that participated. As tiring as the week can be I hope everyone had a great time. Our Prospect
Steer show was a success and I want to tell each of you congratulations on doing a great job
showing your projects! Congratulations to Abbi Bedgood—Grand Champion Steer and Taylor
Evans—Reserve Champion.
Remember that we will be doing a community
service project collecting toys for the WKRG Toy
Drive. We will deliver these toys the first week of
December.
See you all soon,
Mrs. Denise
