🍀 Country Clovers 4-H Club Making a Difference! 🍀

The Country Clovers 4-H Club spent part of their Sunday afternoon giving back to the community by helping clean up Main Street after Friday’s Homecoming Parade.🖤💛

Using brooms, gloves, and trash bags, members worked together to sweep up candy wrappers and collect litter along the parade route. Their efforts helped clean up downtown and keep the community looking its best.

This cleanup was part of the 48 Hours of 4-H which encourages young people to serve others and make a positive difference in their communities. The Country Clovers were proud to give back to the community that supports them throughout the year!đź’š
