So I hope you are ready for this week b/c National 4-H Week is here! Celebrate this week by telling a friend about 4-H, wearing a 4-H t-shirt, or participating in the STOKES STOCK UP!

The STOKES STOCK UP is our first annual food drive to help out the local food banks in Stokes County!  You can drop off non-perishable food items at any of the three Stokes libraries, the King YMCA or the Extension office in Danbury!  The drive ends on Saturday, October 9!
