20th Anniversary Cowboy Day at Linda Nolen Learning Center

On May 18, 2016, from 9 am to 12 pm, at the Linda Nolen Learning Center in Alabaster, Alabama, Libby Shackelford, owner of Carousel O Breeds, and leader of the Shelby County 4-H Horse Club, will delight the students for the 20th Annual Cowboy Day by bringing horses!

Every year the 4-Hers haul their horses, about 15 or so, out to the Learning Center to lead the horses around and have the students interact with the large animals. The experience is well-received by the students who eagerly look forward to the annual event.

For more information and to volunteer, call Libby Shackelford at 205-533-0432.
