4-H Horse Club Christmas Party Highlights Traditions
Franklin County 4-H Horse Club held its annual Christmas party at De McGlashan’s rural Wellsville home. Members exchanged horsey gifts in a circle, opened numbers, and shared cookies, candy canes, and a decorative cookie tree. A small boy nearly cried over a gift but was consoled by a taller member.
