As 2015 begins, we offer a very special thank you to Mrs. Laura Burghardt. Laura wrote the Valley Home News for many years before taking a much deserved rest. For 38 years Laura brought our community together by sharing happenings within Valley Home. It was so important to Laura to make sure school events, community events, family celebrations, and community information was available through her column. We appreciate your many years of service to our community Laura!

Our Valley Home 4-H met Tuesday evening at the Baptist Church. Plans were discussed for the 4-H Box Social to be held on February 3rd! This event is always fun and provides for 4-H activities. 4-Hers will bring brightly wrapped packages to be auctioned to the public. We hope you plan to attend and support our Valley Home 4-Hers. The auction items include sweet treats, Valentine candy, cookies, stuffed animals, delicious surprises, rose bushes, fruit trees, and one year even a baby piglet. Can you imagine the fun?!
