Sonoma County 4-H Club Shoutout! Lytton Springs 4-H was founded in 2014. The families that started the club felt there were more the kids and families could do for our community. The motto for Lytton Springs 4H is, Kids helping kids, helping the community. Since the incept of the club, the main focus has been to find a need and fill it. Lytton Springs 4-H meets in Healdsburg, our members range in age of 6 years old up to 17 years old. Our members have a wide range of inter...ests, from raising and showing animals to fashion review, camp and leadership training. We strongly encourage all parents to sign up and lead a project, or help lead a project. We feel the more members in a family that participate, the better experience the members will have. Some of the projects we offer are 3D printing, baking, crafts, fashion review, skits, mountain biking, dairy goats, large animals, rabbits and cavies, poultry, fishing, Lego’s and equine. #sonomacounty4h #4HGrowsHere See more

Offshore winds from 60mph-70mph which are expected to be the strongest of the 2020 fire season are forecasted to hit Sonoma County Sunday-Tuesday with a potenti...al power shut off that will hit our region. These winds are similar to the winds we had 1 year ago during Kincade. Are you prepared for a power shutoff?
