Mustang News--October

What a fabulous meeting the Mustangs held in October! We welcomed new members both traditional and Cloverbud to the club. The night was filled with very informative information from health reporter Rachel B. about the effects of alcohol, a safety report on Halloween safety by Nathaniel N., and a terrific demonstration on terrariums from Jenna A. Erin C. and Brittany H. led a really cool game. Hayley B. taught the club an awesome graphic arts project, which can be entered into the contest in November. Our Cloverbuds decorated pumpkins, did a cute candy corn craft, and worked on public speaking. The announcement came to us that the Mustangs won 1st place in the Window Display Contest. The committee worked very hard on the display and we are very proud of our accomplishment.

This past month the Mustangs helped with cleaning up Bridgeville after the Apple Scrapple Festival and led crafts during Fall into 4-H at the Western Sussex Boys and Girls Club. Our archery project group has been busy practicing at the Mustang Range. The foods group learned about potatoes and made 5 yummy potato dishes. Our club is excited about the Pumpkin Contest and is preparing for the Talent Show at International Foods. Until next month…Happy Halloween!!!
