Last week the Home Economics Committee hosted Fun Food Adventures and had 11 participants. The morning was filled with cooking how-tos and they made some delicious snacks. The clinic was taught by Darlene Burke-Ogletree, Joyce Kronberg, Amanda Bohlen, Sarah Layton, and Alexus Masterson. The participants made pumpkin muffins and fruit faces, while learning about handwashing, measuring, mixing, baking, and cutting.
We had 9 youth participate in our 4-H Outdoor Clinic held recently at the Barlow Fairgrounds. Extension teamed up with Soil and Water Conservation staff Hannah Swope and Alexis Lane to offer this super educational and fun clinic.
