Once again the Friends of Preble County 4H (FOPC4H) operated another successful Buckeye Bridge Ride(BBR). Cyclist from Indiana, Kentucky, and many points in Ohio enjoyed the ride on the 4th Saturday in June. As a member of the FOPC4H group I would like to share our appreciation for the great sponsorship of the BBR and as a result, our Preble County 4H program. With the local 4H program impacting nearly 800 youth and their families and many volunteers we want to officially THANK those sponsors who help to make this healthy lifestyle activity and fundraising event so successful!
