To commemorate the Escambia County’s Barrineau Park 4-H Club’s centennial, UF/IFAS will host a public celebration for Barrineau Park 4-H Club alumni on Saturday, September 13, at the Barrineau Park Community Center, 6055 Barrineau Park School Rd, Molino, from 2 to 4 p.m.
There are currently 23 students involved in the Barrineau Park 4-H Club who are active in everything from leadership, citizenship, livestock, horses, food and nutrition, environmental education, marine science, shooting sports and public speaking and the club has become known for raising and showing prize-winning hogs.
The club is also celebrating in true 4-H fashion by helping others. Members have been busy performing 100 hours of community service, gathering magazines to donate to nursing homes, collecting shoes for needy families and food for area food banks, baking cookies and cupcakes to give to the local fire department and writing thank you cards to military personnel.
For more information about this event or 4-H please contact the Escambia County Extension office at (850) 475-5230.
