We would love to deeply express our gratitude and appreciation to Darlington American Legion Post 214!

The Post for this upcoming year will be lending out the Post Air Rifles for the Lafayette County Shooting Sports Program to use! They also gave a very generous donation of targets and ammunition for the Lafayette County 4-H to use in their trainings and practices.
