Chualar 4H members Sami Mount, Bart Bonfantini, Colby Strickland, Kaitlyn and Jason Andersen attended the Salinas Farm Day and shared their market lambs and market hogs. Lorin from Buena Vista 4H brought some bottle fed baby goats for us to share with the 3rd graders as well. It was nice to have Haley Kennedy from Natividad help us too! It was a great opportunity for our members to speak to the 3rd graders and show their 4H pride! All the kids enjoyed learning many aspects of our Ag Community.
