On April 21, the Ada Barnyard Farmers 4-H club had a meeting about brainstorming their fair booth, a Safety and Health report, important dates coming up and demonstrations.
First off, Waylon Clemons did a Health report about the importance of sunscreen and Bella Wagner did a Safety report about what to keep in a First Aid Kit.
Important dates coming up are the club’s Library Kick off Party on June 1. We bring small animals for people to pet and learn a little about our animals. We also have fun activities during the Kick off Party for everyone to participate in.
We will be doing a Petting Zoo for our nursing home. We are going to bring any kind of nice, gentle animals to the nursing home around 6:00 p.m. for our senior citizens to pet and have fun with.
Four demonstrations were done. We elected Catherine Santillanez to be our fair booth chairman and came up with many ideas for our fair booth this year. We are going to vote on them at the next meeting. Brooklynn Kay demonstrated how to set and bump a volleyball, Lilly Reins showed us the color wheel and we did an activity where we mix play-dough to make different colors on the color wheel. Derrick Dennis showed the group how to work a 3D Print Pen, and Elliot Seeley showed us how to make a Fortune Teller out of a single piece of paper.
After demonstrations, Derrick Dennis came up with the idea of playing a game called “Silent Ball.” At the end of the meeting we had snacks and refreshments brought by the people who did demonstrations.
Our next meeting will be May 19 at 3:00 p.m.
