I'm hoping to start a LEGO Club with Fayette County 4-H this year!
If you have any extra LEGO bricks, sets, minifigures, baseplates, or other LEGO accessories that you're no longer using and would be willing to donate, I would greatly appreciate it. Your donations will help provide hands-on STEM and engineering opportunities for local youth.
Thank you so much for helping make this new club possible! You can drop off donations to the Fayette County Extension office for Manda Clark.

A huge congratulations to Kindle, Kedley, and Brianna (Campbell County) for competing today in 4-H horse judging. They placed first as a team and won other individual awards also. Since they won first place as a team they'll go on to southern regionals in Georgia in July to compete as the judging team for Kentucky there. Way to go ladies!
