Clay County 4-H Ambassadors made their annual two visits to the Clay Center Carnegie Library to visit the Summer Reading Program.
The Ambassadors introduced themselves and shared some of the projects they are involved in for 4-H. They also led the group in saying the Pledge of Allegiance and the 4-H Pledge.
During each visit, the Ambassadors read a book with the kids and brought some special visitors. Slade Griffiths brought his dog Peanut; Slade is active in the Dog Care Project. Austin Burr brought his Bearded Dragon that can be shown through the Pets Project. Ryan Geer brought some of his practice welds that he made during welding class at CCCHS.
