They should receive something of equal value , something adequate for their needs. Twenty acres is not equal and it's not enough land! Wake up guys you can stop this insanity!!! You have to live with your choices....... :( I am so saddened that our County Commissioners would even consider to allow these children to be wronged like this……promises were made to these children!

Thank you for teaching my children such a wonderful lesson in life. The 4-H children did not vote Yes so they could get nothing in return.

This is one of those times. I would have ran for BCC and would be voting a LARGE NO on spending 1.xxx million for Pam Allen and IFAS until such time as they come around to what the 4H community and supporters want to happen. I have had too many calls and complaints freom foemer 4H members that I knew and freom local volunteer leaders wanting something different than is being proposed. In the 1943 Deed it spells out that any sale or financial gain is the property of Escambia 4H Boys Council. We know that gi,rls were allowed to partkickipate so it became the Escambia 4H Council. GIVE THEM BACK THEIR RIGHTS TO ;PROPOSE LAND AND FACILITIES THEY WANT!!! Lemon, Steven and Wilson, vote to hold IFAS, Pam Allen and 4H Foundatuion in the fire until such tikme as thney m ak,e things right with 4 H families, members and friends of 4H. Once they have done right by thne kids then the building can proceed! Sometimes I wish I had left the Air Force and returned to Escambia County. This is one of those times.

This is not the first time adults said children could make a choice, the the adults do what they want. The area at the Extension Office is NOT enough room for the 4-Hers to show their animals. Where are the parents to park their trucks and trailers, what about spectators? Thank goodness my 3 daughters are out of 4-H in Escambia County. Shame Shame Shame on you adults who made this choice. Lets pads their monies (for the county) and forget the what is best for our future generations!!!!!! Congras to the other people who agree with me.

Once the sale contract for Langley Bell was signed..................bingo! A trade is in the works: Navy OLF for some land in Santa Rosa County. But it is just a coincidence.........right. This Stefani Road office building is going to be just that, a pretty new office building for the extension office. Pan will make sure any weekend 4-H program does not take place for some excuse as no one from the office will be in town that weekend to open it. Just like she did at the Langley Bell property. What say you Uncle Wilson????????????????? It is indeed very suspicious that for years and years we were told the Navy OLF was not available.

They are stealing from the future of the kids/4-H by limiting them to such a small area and taking the money from that purchase. why not buy the Bayer property? seems to be a simple solution to me...shame on you people for not doing the right thing...money hungry, power hungry, no good intention thieves... that what you are. Maybe we should have more children running things... they make better decisions than the adult leaders!!! another question, how can someone in an office in Gainesville know what is best for these kids here? they probably can't even spell "4-H" or even know what it means....
