Why is the 4-H Building important?
The building is still highly used for storage, 4-H Council Meetings, 4-H Club meetings, Master Gardener Classes, and 4-H Project Meetings including Leathercraft, Small Animal, Cake Decorating, Foods, Air Rifle practice, Air Pistol practice, and more.
4-H Building Needs:
In 2024, Cornerstone began paying for utilities at the 4-H building which were previously paid for by the county because it served as the County Fairgrounds. As building responsibilities and expenses increase, 4-H Cornerstone Supporter Sponsorship and increased fundraising will be needed to sustain the building. We need continued support of 4-H families, Clubs and the community to thrive and be able to maintain the building into the future. We need your support. Become a supporter!
