Macon Mountain Goats 4-H Club

The Goat Club took some of the herd to the Cowee Christmas on December 2nd.  As one of their service projects for this year, they raised over $400 for the Hot Mess Animal Rescue.  They were also able to give people the chance to visit with their goats and take Christmas pictures with a goat.  Way to go MMGs!  They will have their end of the year Christmas Party on Tuesday December 12th at 6:00pm at the Cooperative Extension Office. Please let Ms. Cindy or Ms. Kara know by Dec. 11th if you would like to attend.
