Rockwall County 4H members celebrate season with giving

ROCKWALL, TX (Dec. 23, 2014) The Rockwall County 4-H Club held their annual County-wide Christmas party on Friday December 5, 2014. The fun included a county Consumer Decision Making contest, lots of food, float decorating and CornHole tournaments.

Over 90 4-H members and their families attended the event. The party included a service project of donations of gently used coats and blankets. The festivities continued on Saturday morning as many 4-H families rode the 4-H float or their horses in the Kiwanis Christmas Parade.

Rockwall County 4-H coordinated with Enid Reyes and the donated coats and blankets were delivered on December 19 to Rockwall Grace Center for Family and Community Development on Bourne Avenue.
