Northumberland/Montour County 4-H Horse Show

The Northumberland/Montour County 4-H Horse Show was held on Saturday, July 28, 2012 at the Susquehanna Valley Corral, Danville.  Members from both counties demonstrated their horsemanship skills and sportsmanship in the successful (but long) day.  The show was planned by leaders from the Backwoodsmen 4-H Club, Saddle Starz 4-H Club and Montour County 4-H Clubs.  A special thanks to all leaders, members and parents who helped make the day a successful one!
