HANOVERTON, Ohio — The Hicks and Hayseeds 4-H club met July 2 at the club advisors’ house.
Before the meeting, club members cooked a meal for the Kendall Home. Members also finished their silent auction donations. The items being donated include a charcuterie board made from wood, dried flowers and resin; a table runner designed and sewn by the members, and two dried flower-decorated wine glasses. The baskets will be available to be viewed and bid on all week during the Columbiana County Fair, which begins July 29.
The meeting began with pledges and roll call, secretary and treasurers report and old and new business. Demonstrations were given by Sidney Casto, Averie Miller, Cole Wilson, Bryce Wood and Matthew Hoopes. Casto showed the club the conductivity of milk by placing a battery in a pan of milk and placing a light bulb in the pan, making the light bulb light up. Miller shared her recipe for chocolate truffles and shared them with the group.
Wilson talked about the importance of hand washing and demonstrated how germs can’t stick to our hands if they are washed. Wood showed how he bleaches deer skulls. Hoopes told the group how to check transmission fluid in a vehicle. The meeting closed with snacks and drinks.
