COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT: April 13, serving the meal at the SW 4 Extension Office. I will be sending an e-mail asking for a few food items. You may drop them off at the extension office so you don't need to make a special trip into town.

The sheep barn is done! What a surprise! We had some busy and very secretive bees complete the project. THANK YOU!!!

The canival was a success! Congratulations to the committee who designed the Key to the Future booth! They received third place for their efforts.

Thanks to all who helped this past weekend, you all are a great bunch!
