We’re getting together on Monday, May 3 at the Ranch 7:00 p.m. We will be in the Timnath and Laporte Rooms which are in the back hallway of the McKee Building. We will discuss eRecords and the requirements for fair, then we’ll do a couple of experiments. If anyone would like to do a demonstration that would be great!
Registration is now open for our February Cloverbuds Workshop! During this workshop, Cloverbuds will be introduced to healthy ingredients that humans (and birds!) like to eat. They’ll make a tasty no-bake cookie recipe using basic kitchen tools, and will also make a simple bird feeder to hang outside. They’ll also discover what types of birds to expect at their feeders, and why birds choose only some kinds of seeds.
This will be a virtual workshop and you’ll need to prepare some supplies in advance for the activities. We have a limited number of partial-supply kits available to pick up from the Extension Office.
To claim a kit: Register by February 12 and email Katie Daywalker to request the kit. If you are claiming a supply kit, we will email you on February 12 specifying the kit contents & what other supplies you will need to gather on your own. Kits will be available to pick up by appointment between February 15–19.
Karen Johnson from Wilton sent the following resource for learning about decorating as well as baking bread. There are activity guides and links to videos that show steps to the techniques.
Have a kid at home that loves to bake? Does your baker enjoy trying new recipes? Is your baker interested in selling baked goods? Arapahoe County 4-H is offering a VIRTUAL Bakers’ Space Camp for youth ages 12–16. The youth will learn about baking, food safety, and entrepreneurial skills. Each camper will be mailed a recipe book, oven thermometer, measuring utensils, CSU Cottage Food Safety Program Materials, and will have the opportunity to receive their own Cottage Foods Certification by passing an exam.
Youth will have the flexibility to bake several different recipes of their choosing from our recipe book. While ingredients are not provided, most recipes will be comprised of common baking ingredients and equipment. Camp counselors and CSU Extension staff will provide baking feedback and assistance throughout the camp. At the end of the camp, the youth will be eligible to take the online Cottage Foods Safety Certification Exam.
