The New 4-H Year is off to a BIG Start!!


The new year is off to a great start for the Kaufman County 4-H Program.  Tuesday night club managers and project leaders met to discuss preparing for the new year.  Above is a list of the clubs that have checked in to provide fun opportunities for the 4-H Members in Kaufman County.

Here is a listing of the clubs and what they are....
