Good Hope 4-H Club ends year with fun

Almost the entire Good Hope 4-H Club membership participated in the 2025 Frost Fest Parade. As the oldest club in the County, the club chose to display an antique tractor driven by the Grinch to fit the theme “Timeless Traditions”. Multiple 4-H members also dressed up as characters to add to the display. Courtesy photo

December was a busy month for the Good Hope 4-H club. To start off the month on December 7th we attended the Frost Fest parade. The day before the parade, almost the entire club came to help decorate the float. It was really a team effort. At the parade we were all bundled up, even some of our club members dressed up for the occasion. Our float included the Grinch driving an antique tractor with a big bag of presents hanging from the back. The Good Hope 4-H club has been around since 1934, making it the oldest club in the county. This was perfect for Frost Fest’s theme, which was “Timeless Traditions”.

Also, in December we had our grandparents’ dinner. This included all the club members that attended to bring food for the potluck dinner. Many of our grandparents support us in all our 4-H projects, so we felt the importance of honoring them with a dinner. After a very eventful month, it was a good way to end 2025.

Preparing for the frost fest parade was a team effort with most of the membership and parents of members helping to get the float ready. Courtesy photo
