Please note: If you are a member of our Hydrate for Health page please comment there.

Hello Hydrate Heroes!! 💧🦸
I’m switching things up today with a Thirsty Thursday Giveaway below — 👇 for a chance to win TWO gallons of HTeaO water!
This week I want to know: Have YOU taken the opportunity to stop by HTeaO Lexington (Lexington, TN) for your FREE water refill?
You’ve had the whole month of August to swing by, and if you haven’t yet, you are truly missing out. Their water isn’t just water — it’s made through reverse osmosis, a purification process that removes impurities and leaves you with crisp, clean, delicious hydration. (See info below.)
If you’ve already won a gallon of this amazing purified water and want more, refills are only $0.60 — as long as your jug is still in good condition. Affordable, refreshing, and good for you.
So go visit Kim Gill and her wonderful staff at HTeaO Lexington. They are incredible partners in helping us all stay hydrated and healthy. Show them some love and support their efforts! 💛💧

Chick Chain Spotlight!!!
Our spotlight today is Elly Russell. Elly is raising Black Australorps. They are a great breed that is very hardy and a great egg layer.
Elly is very involved in 4-H. She has been involved in horse, livestock, chick chain, poultry, forestry, and other things 4-H has offered. We are excited to have Elly in 4-H with us and she wants you to come bid on her chicks! Grab a chair and come out on September 14th to the Farmers Market in Lexington. SHOW STARTS AT 5!
