Cold day in the barn didn’t stop these 4-H kids! Horse Judging and Hippology was a huge success because of the help of all the 4-H volunteers and parents helping out. 48 kids (including kids from Benton and Linn County) got to judge horse showmanship and conformation classes (Clydesdales were my favorite!) as well as participate in Hippology and impromptu speeches.

No School Day Art Camp was a success! 10 kids joined this free two day camp to make tin and felt ornaments, garlands, and air dry clay magnets. Everybody got to try embroidery and crocheting! A lot of creativity and fun was had!
