HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2008-07-10, Page 23By Reba JeffersonMeeting three of the Wawanosh 4-H Powerful Producers was held onJuly 4 at the Jeffersons.While members were arriving theyvisited the Jefferson’s garden withtheir task being to name anddescribe a vegetable that was
growing in the garden. Members
answered with all different types of
produce such as strawberries, peas,
beans, corn, onions and more.
Vice-president, Sydney
McIlhargey opened the meeting with
the pledge. Emma Enders read the
minutes for the last meeting.
The club voted on the title page forthe books. Jolande Oudshoorn’s titlepage was the most popular. Mary Ellen informed the club thatshe had received $60 from theIvomec/Eprinex 4-H BoxbackProgram. Members are to ask family,friends and neighbours for boxes as
a fundraiser will continue this year.
The leaders checked all the
members’ books to see if they were
up to date. Some needed to do some
work on their books while others
started to bake and cook. Baked
apples with maple sauce, strawberry
shortcake, applesauce, and quick
tomato sauce.While the food was baking juniorleader, Ellen Jefferson, led a WhoWants to Be a Millionaire game withall questions related to Ontario freshfruit and vegetables. Memberslearned a lot. For example, tomatoesand melons are best selected when
they are heavy for their size, and if
potatoes get too much light they turn
green and sprout.
Next members tried the two
different kinds of applesauce, one
made with McIntosh apples and the
other made with empire apples.
Members found that the McIntosh
applesauce is sweeter.The members tasted all the bakedgoods including fresh fruit crispmade with apples and elderberrieswhich was made prior to the meetingby junior leaders Ellen and RebaJefferson.The next meeting will be held at
the Lucknow Horticultural Society’s
Flower Show on July 9 at the
Lucknow Town Hall.
Members are reminded to have
their entries for the show into
Lucknow on the Tuesday evening or
brought to the Jefferson house by
5:30 p.m. Tuesday.
President Melissa Higgins endedthe meeting with the motto.THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JULY 10, 2008. PAGE 23.
