The Putnam Standard
Putnam County 4-H’ers Pledge Their “Hands for Larger Service” As we say in 4-H, “I pledge by my hands to larger service,” on Sunday, May 5, 12 Putnam 4H’ers, leaders, and parents from the Trailblazers 4-H Club got their hands dirty at Hometown Community Park. The park, which was greatly affected by the big storm in July of 2012, received a bit of a makeover where the Hometown Park sign awaits to be put back into place. The flower garden, which is comprised of petunias, marigolds, and a couple of shrubs were arranged and planted by the 4-H’ers and then topped off with mulch which was donated from Valley Cash Feed in Nitro.
Pictured above, the 4-H members stand and show off their hard work from the May 5th afternoon. Row one, left to right: Alexis Stover, Lily Byars, Lily Smith, Jack Byars, and Luke Smith. Row two: Mandy Smith, and Lainey Smith.
