Meeting and Outing

Saturday, March 1 we attended the Cowboys for Christ event as a group at Tractor Supply in Knightdale. The main event was Roger Moore and an Horsemanship clinic. The kids enjoyed making lead lines and other ropes from the hay strings and learned how to do it to recycle all of our hay strings that we cut off the bales and usually just throw away. Fun!!! They also enjoyed learning and for some practicing what they already know - how to lasso a calf head! We ate Carolina Barbecue and then went back to the house for some more fun with the horses, ropes and lariats or lassos! A great time was had by all! Our next meeting will be the 15 of March due to the 4th Sat. being Easter weekend1 If you have never come to a 4H meeting we encourage you to give it a try! See pictures (will upload soon)to see how much fun we have!!!!

Feb. 23 meeting

We had our meeting this past Saturday. We had a great time and added 2 more members. Larry did a hands on lesson on Chickens and the children enjoyed that. Our activity time took extra long as we were all having such a great time. our new members Bryce and Madison played with the goat, rode the horses and Bryce even helped Larry go get hay! What a great day! I will have pictures uploaded soon so check back this week. Our next meeting will be March 1 at 10 AM. we have a Teen works event on the 2nd Saturday so we must move it up.

Weather causes meeting cancelation

Well, we didn't get a lot of snow - not much at all, but we did get some rain and some cold! that was enough to cancel our meeting this saturday! Our next meeting will be the second Saturday in February - Feb. 9 at 10 AM here at Laramel Farms!! Hope to see you all then!!!
