Parents and leaders: I am in need of a few volunteers to help support this contest running smoothly. If you are interested and willing to help out, please contact Katie Daywalker!
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.
