More than 50 Butler County 4-H members gathered at Sunnyview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Wednesday to share their projects with residents.

Members brought animal 4-H projects such as rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, ducks and dogs for Sunnyview residents to see and touch. Displays were presented, including a spinning wheel, to highlight the many different projects done by 4-H members.
