The 4-H Drill Team members and their horses are scheduled to perform at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Butler Farm Show.

CONNOQUENESSING TWP – The 4-H Drill Team members are eager to show off their skills and horses Wednesday at the Butler Farm Show.

After all, they've been practicing for months.

The seven members of the team and their horses will perform at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday in Elmer's Corral near the horse barns on the farm show grounds, 625 Evans City Road.

Performing in front of an audience will be something of a first for the team.

Patti Turner, the team's coach, said that last year the team's usual performance venues — the fair, the farm show, parades, the North Washington Rodeo and 4-H horse shows — were all canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, the team started meeting weekly at the showgrounds in March to practice their routines, first on foot and then with their horses.
