4Hr's Hard at Work

Last Saturday a few of our kids helped out the local feed store, Walton Thriftway  with their annual customer appreciation day. The kids helped carry out groceries and waited on the customers. We had collection jars set up for donations to the Walton 4H to help raise money for 4H camp which is coming up in June. We had set our goal at $500, but with all of the nice people in the community and $250 donation from the Poca Valley bank we passed our goal and went a little over $600. How How!!!!

Free pizza from Hunt Bros.,cake, ice cream and drinks were served 12-5 so it was pretty busy. Callie was getting a little "slap happy"since me and her had just spent the whole night before up with 23 other 8th graders at the school all night lock in party that I chaperoned. She was a trooper though going on 30 hours without sleep.

And of course the "men" of the bunch were doing their part. I also got a couple of tips helping people just to get out on the road because the parking was so crowded.All in all it was a good time for all. Good Food, drinks, and friends that why we choose to live in the country.

It's this type of support that really shows what a tight community the whole countryside can be. Great job! My sister and mom are two of our community's 4H leaders.

Teresa, Most of the people that live in the community have lived here their entire lives. Tim, the owner of the store used to live In the city and moved to Walton after 9/11. He has brought some changes to the store and is always willing to help out when he can. Those are his twins pictured in the first pic w/Amber.

Sounds like it was a fun and exhausting day. And what better way to teach the younger generation that pitching in, some hard work is the way to go. They are going to be very productive adults one day! Even the boys!! :)

AJ-Oaks, Fun and Exhausting and by the end of the day I was a little slap happy myself.
