4-H foods workshop

This years 4-H food workshop was a blast. we had four stations. the stations were: the germ detectors, food pyramid, smoothies and the food challenge. at each station it gave the kids a chance to learn something new.

there is going to be a new part to the food shows this year, it is called the food challenge. in the food challenge you will have a list of ingredients and a recipe with a clue on it. there are no directions just a list of the amount of ingredients you can use. the food shows are very fun and you get a chance to try new things. so i encourage all of you to come out and try our 4-h food challenge

One Day 4-H

One Day 4-H was a total hit. Although our 4-H group was not there more then and hour and a half the Archer show barn looks great. The kids worked very hard. We swept the floors, picked up trash, and cleaned the bleachers. We are all proud of our 4-H kids and the parents involved in helping us out. We did a great job so lets keep up the good work!
