Valley Home 4-H members can take a well-deserved big bow! We received word this week that the club sponsored Valentine Box Social was a great success. Word has been received that there were lots of baked goodies and other various items on hand at the club’s annual fun filled event! Club members’ delicious boxed desserts raised a little over $1,000 for the Club’s treasury. The announcer was Ashley Barreto and Hallie Smith showed off her great talent as auctioneer. A Big Thanks to everyone who helped with the annual event, especially to all the members for their donations and purchasing the boxes.
