Save the date! We are excited to offer a cheer & dance class for youth in 4th-8th grade beginning in January. This class will cover how to stay healthy with physical activity including stretching, nutrition, & a chance to learn & perform a fun dance routine. More details soon!

We were excited to receive an extra special holiday delivery today - a brand new van for our 4-H program! Look at this beauty! Our old minivan could only hold six passengers, which limited our participation or necessitated the use of expensive rentals. But our new van holds twice as many people - plus there is space leftover for luggage! We aren’t able to travel anywhere yet due to COVID-19, but we are looking forward to our first 4-H trip in our new van #fultoncounty #4hgrowshere #georgia4h #newcarwhodis #newcarsmell
