Club Meeting THURSDAY

Looking forward to seeing all of you on Thursday at 6:30p at the SOUTHERN CHEROKEE FED CREDIT UNION (behind the County Extension Ofc building). Be sure to be there - we have several fun things going on including archery fundraisers, Christmas parade float information and livestock show updates.

There will be a hands-on presentation by Tatum Gates (and Jessica) on rabbits - show and care - following the business meeting. They have a lot of information to share from their experience over the past year or so after knowing nothing about rabbits to jumping in with both feet and winning grand champion at the livestock show.

See you Thursday!!
