Welcome to Our Newest Specialty Club!


It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon as Libby Burney welcomed five youth and parents into her home for the first meeting of the St. Paul's 4-H Pony Club. The parents and youth got the overwhelming introduction to 4-H as Mrs Burney, her daughter Holly, and 4-H staff members tried to explain what 4-H is all about.

After explaining the projects and opportunities these youth will have as part of the club the youth got a chance to meet the miniature horse, pony, and new baby that they will be working with and learning how to care for. They also had a homemade horseshoe cake to dive into after the meeting.
Mrs Burney was previously a 4-H volunteer in Florida and has been part of 4-H since the 1960's. Her daughter Holly was part of the club the Mrs Burney lead in Florida and has graduated to being a co-leader for this club. Keeping it all in the family will be Christopher, Holly's son who is a cloverbud and will be a member of this club.
The St. Paul's 4-H Pony Club will meet every Saturday from 2-5 p.m. For more information about this club or to become a member or volunteer please contact the 4-H Staff at (910) 671-3276.
