It gets worse before it gets better, right? 🫣

🔸️As part of our commitment to be good stewards of the money we receive via donation or through our events, we are tackling some of our to-do projects.

A few of our board members are putting in some sweat equity to repair, paint and update the halls, dining room and meeting room. These repairs and updates, help us keep the facility lookin' good for 4-H, FFA and the community members and groups that rent our grounds and facility for their events.
