Mar 13, 2021
The Hicks & Hayseeds 4-H club met March 2. Members worked on a portable craft table, which is the club’s donation to the Silent Auction held every year at the Lisbon Fair.
The meeting began with treasurer’s report and secretary’s report. Upcoming clinic dates were announced.
To conclude the meeting, the club viewed demonstrations by several members.
First was Piper Cowden, whose demonstration was on making butter. Ingredients were supplied for each family to make their own butter to take home.
The next demonstrations were given by Matthew, Weston and Kaitlyn Hoopes, who all teamed up to tell the club how the family taps maple trees and makes syrup each year. To aid their demonstration, they brought along bottles of sap to show the stages that the sap goes through during production to syrup.
