On September 23 the 4H Club of

learned about dairy cattle and milk
production. After leaving the farm
they went to Peggy’s house and
opened the meeting. After the
meeting was open members talked
about milk and how many different
kinds there are and how they are
used. After that we were divided
into two groups, one to make a
recipe called cheese fondue dip and
one to wash and peel carrots. After
the dip was ready they all dug in
