Support Mason County 4-H

Mason County 4-H may be eliminated. If Mason County stops funding the County Extension Office, it will have to close. And if it closes-that eliminates 4-H in this county. December 1st is the county commissioner's meeting to allow public comment on the proposed budget cuts. Please consider writing letters to the editor of the County's one paper, come to the meeting, and write the commissioners supporting 4-H.

The Pigeon

These pictures look like they are of nothing, but if you look closely, standing at the gate looking in is a pigeon. And if you look more closely, the pigeon is watching me ride - it's head is pointed wherever I am (hard to see) in the arena on Willig.

By submitting the form below you are affirming that you agree to the following statement: Horse boarding, riding, and training farms are a vital part of our farm and agricultural community.
