🎉 Bartels residents got a VIP preview of the Townline 4-H Club’s Fair projects—and let's just say, creativity was moo-ving through the Chapel. 🐮🌽
From prize-worthy woodworking to adorable puppies, these future leaders showcased talent that’s as wonderful as a blue-ribbon pie. Thanks for bringing the Fair flair to Bartels—now that’s what we call intergenerational awesomeness! 💚🐾

☀️🐐 We’re not kidding around… Bartels residents had a GOAT-tastic time snuggling with the cutest visitor on four hooves! 😄💛
There were belly laughs, gentle pats, and enough goat giggles to last all summer. Turns out, baby goats make perfect therapy animals—and excellent listeners too. 🐐💬
Who knew hooves and hugs made such a perfect combo? 💛
