What is your favorite Winter Olympic event?  Skiing, ice skating, and bobsledding were the answers to the roll call at the Feb. 7 meeting of the Prairie Dell 4-H Club.

Song leader Lainey Church led members in singing “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.”

Ribbons were presented to the members that competed at 4-H Day on Feb. 5. Lizzy Michael received a blue for her talk about her chickens. Luke Wicoff received a top blue for his reading and a red for Public Speaking.  The club skit, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, received a red. Luke Wicoff also competed in the FCS judging contest.

During Parliamentary Procedure, members learned that when approaching the officers’ table, they should walk to the side that does not require them to pass in front of the American flag.  

For the program, Lainey Church demonstrated how to make a Valentine Surprise using an empty toilet paper roll, tissue paper, and string.  Lainey filled the tube with candy.  She wrapped it with the paper and tied string around the ends to complete the Valentine Surprise.

For recreation, members used their arts and crafts skills to make Valentines.  They delivered them to the residents at Heartland Meadows Sunday. 

The next meeting will be on Monday, March 7 at 7 p.m. at the Riverside Park Community Building. It is wear green night.  Talks will be given by Luke Wicoff and Cav Nelson.
