Smith County 4-H and Smith County FFA are partnering with Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, Tennessee FFA Association, and Tennessee 4-H Program in a year-long innovative ATV safety program. Ride On TN—ATV Safety Program is sponsored through the generous support of Ford Motor Company Fund. With over 650 deaths and 100,000 injuries in the U.S. involving ATVs each year, we are excited to do our part in our community to spread awareness about ATV safety. If you are interested in participating or supporting this important and needed program, please contact Katie Martin in the Smith County Office of the University of Tennessee Extension at 615-735-2900.
