Friday 4-H Nugget

Greetings 4-H Community,

We've all heard that April showers bring May flowers and the weather has not disappointed! Speaking of flowers, geranium sales should be winding down, so be sure to check with your club leaders about turning in your orders. We have some fantastic educational opportunities for you over the next few weeks and months so be sure to check them out in the articles below. We hope you enjoyed your spring break and made time to work on your projects. As always, reach out to us if you have any questions.

All the best,

Robby Kelly, Sthele Greybar & Corey Sharp
