SUMMARY:Farm Care FUNdamentals 4-H SPIN Club

This is a beginner/introductory level program. \nThis is a free opportunity for youth ages 9 – 18\, and will meet over Zoom on Wednesdays\, January 22\, 29th\, and February 5\, 2025\, February 12th will be an optional session for youth who intend to participate in a 4-H livestock project.
