🐣💚 Sweet Success for a Great Cause! 💚🐣

Our Greenup County Homemakers have been hard at work—and the results are delicious! Thanks to the dedication of our amazing volunteers, 530 handmade Easter eggs (peanut butter chocolate and coconut chocolate) were prepared and packaged for this year’s fundraiser supporting 4-H Camp.

From mixing and dipping to boxing up each order, this project truly showcased the power of community, teamwork, and tradition. 💪🍫

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who placed an order and supported our youth. Because of you, more kids will have the opportunity to experience 4-H Camp in 2026! 🌱🏕️

We appreciate our volunteers and supporters more than words can say—enjoy your sweet treats! 💛
