By Emma Enders
The second meeting of the 4-H
Produce Club was held June 6 at the
home of Mary Ellen Jefferson.
They started the meeting with a
garden tour. Sydney then led them in
the 4-H pledge. Kendra read the
minutes from the last meeting.
The club agreed on Powerful
Producers as the club name.
They played fruit and vegetable
jeopardy where the members were
divided into two teams: fruit or
vegetables. Teams competed to
answer the most questions. In the
end, the fruits were victorious.
Members looked at the Canada
Food Guide and discussed serving
size.
A movie about eating disorders,
Dying to be Thin, was shown.
The members were divided into
three groups to begin cooking. At
this meeting they made mushroom
soup, green salad, vinaigrette
dressing, fruit muesli and
minestrone soup. They tested the
creations.
The next meeting is July 4.
