New Website Coming Soon!

Hello everyone-
Just wanted to post a quick note, seeing as this blog has not been updated in over a year now! During the past year I have been posting updates and photos of club activities on our Upton 4-H Club Facebook page.

Our new 4-H year will be kicking off on October 8th- at that time we will be discussing a member-designed website which a parent has volunteered to assist with. Once that is up and running, I will post a link to it here!
