4-H Horse Show in need of volunteers | Community Spirit

Alabama 4-H invites you to "make a difference" in the lives of 200+ youth participating in the upcoming 2012 show.  4-H needs help with some critical tasks -- everything from arena gatekeeping, to setting up jumps.  Thanks to the efforts of many good people last summer, the 2011 4-H State show was accomplished smoothly and safely -- and we're looking forward to another great year!

Please consider supporting the show, July 9-13 at the Crawford Arena in Montgomery.  The State 4-H Horse Show schedule can be found here.  Why not check it out, and consider committing to a job?
