Mustang Happenings--March

Riding into spring, the Bridgeville Mustangs are ready for warm weather and lots of 4-H activities. At the March meeting, we discussed all the cool things that our members have done over the past month. We held our 2nd annual Mustang Fun Fest. Our Jr. Leaders taught 8 projects to enter in the fair. Fun was had by all!! The Mustangs had a great turn out for the Favorite Foods Contest. All the dishes were delicious! Congratulations to all that participated! The Palomino Ponies and the Equinators both did an awesome job at the State Horse Bowl Competition. The Palomino Ponies took 2nd in the state. Congrats to Paige, Donna, Cheyenne, and Alexia!! Equinators were Tanner, Caleb, C.J., and Jenna. Thanks to Mrs. Heather and Ms. Melissa for coaching us!!! Mr. Jordy led us in a fun game using beach balls. It made everyone wish for summer!! The Cloverbuds had a super time planting flowers and making a poster that showed parts of a plant.

Our Horticulture and Poultry project groups have been practicing for judging contests. Small Engines had their 1st meeting and learned parts of a motor. Health project group made a poster on how to avoid dog bites. Horse project group is set to work on entries for the Equine Art Contest and judging. Foods group made candy at their last meeting. Archery is ready to point, aim, and shoot as soon as the weather gets warmer.
We have lots of upcoming activities, such as Beach Grass Planting, National Armed Service Day, Mustangs BBQ Fundraiser and Mustang Day at the Monster Mile.

Lastly, Congratulations to our Co-President Hayley B. She recently won the title of Miss Dairy Princess for Delaware. Make sure you look out for her at the Delaware State Fair and camp this summer.
