A Fun Filled Summer

The Energizer's have been having a lot of fun horsing around this summer!

A few of our girls went to horse camp in June and had a fantastic time enjoying photography classes, adventurous trail rides and other fun activities...

We had our own trail ride and picnic in the Eagle foothills.

The Energizer's took second place in their division and came away with a trophy and $100.00 check for the club!

A final photo for the day...

4H is a for the whole family!


If it were not for the dedication of all the parent's these events would not be a success.

Thank you!

A New Blog!

We are setting up a blog for our group to be able to document our adventures as well as have a central place to keep a current calendar.

Please feel free to check it out every now and then and add your comments. We would love to hear suggestions and feedback!

Eventually, this will be our main point of contact... it is an easy way to keep everyone posted on a regular basis.
