🍀CHICK CHAIN SHOW & AUCTION – CENTRAL SET!🍀
It’s almost time for the Chick Chain Show & Auction for the Central Set, bringing together Autauga, Bibb, Chilton, and Elmore Counties!
When: September 19th, 9:00 am - 2:00 PM
Where: Chilton Research and Extension Center, 120 County Rd. 756, Clanton, AL 35046.
🍀We are so excited to have 10 Chilton County 4-Hers competing in the show! These 4-H members have worked hard all year on their Chick Chain projects, and we would love to see our community come out and support them!
Come out, cheer them on, and join the bidding fun and go home with a new chicken (or two!) We have Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rock, and White Leghorn.
🍀Another way you can support our 4-Hers:
If you do not want or need a chicken, you can purchase a chicken and donate the proceeds back to your county 4-H program while allowing the 4-Her to keep their chicken! It’s a win-win!
Spread the word!
Come support your local 4-Hers!
Celebrate the hard work they have put into their projects!
We are so proud of our Chilton County 4-H Alabama 4-Hers and can’t wait to cheer them on!
