Community Service Update:
The Creative Critters painted the 4-H Dairy Bar on Sunday, June 6th. It was a great day to do so as it rained very hard! We had a great time giving the Dairy Bar a fresh coat of paint and a fresh look. The kids did a wonderful job painting. They also had some free time in between the paint drying to do some bonding. We even enjoyed pizza for lunch! The parents were also a huge help. Thank you to the parents that braved getting up on the ladders to paint the top of the Dairy Bar!
