Grey 4-H Club plans G2G clean-up hike
By Evy Vershaeve
The Baan house in Walton was full
of happiness and cheer on March 22,
as the Grey Township Yeast Beasts
attended their sixth meeting.
Members arrived at 5:30 p.m. and
got straight to work with some
making pizza dough from scratch
and preparing the ingredients they
brought from home as others began
rolling out dough. With the
contributions from the club,
members had amassed an array of
pizza toppings including
mushrooms, pepperoni, bacon,
ground beef, peppers, onions, and of
course, cheese!
When the dough was rolled into
perfect circles, members formed
small groups and made their ideal
pizza. Then, it was time to put them
in the oven to bake. In the
meantime, they got started on the
second recipe of the night: teddy
bear bread.
The club worked together to add
ingredients and contribute to the
dough. By the time the dough was
ready to rise, the pizzas had finished
baking in the oven. Members
surveyed the finished projects and
practised judging and comparing
the pizzas as they cooled off. The
meeting then officially started with
the 4-H pledge, and members dug
into their well-deserved pizza.
This did not conclude the meeting
however, as the fun had only just
started! The members then split up,
with half of them working on the last
recipe of the day, soft pretzels, and
the others putting their creativity to
the test as they assembled teddy
bears out of dough.
With a mutual agreement that the
bears were not going to be getting
any better, each member rolled out
and shaped their own pretzels. Each
member had unique shapes, and the
choice to season their pretzels with
either salt or sesame seeds. The
pretzels went in the oven, and the
teddy bears sat to rise for a second
time.
Meanwhile, the business portion
of the meeting had commenced,
with the roll call for this meeting
being “Name your favourite recipe
from the Breadventure project and
state why it was your favourite”.
Answers included happy face
muffins, cheese bread, and
cinnamon buns.
Then, the minutes of the last
meeting were read by Simon
Gubelmann, and his sister Katrina
calculated our club’s balance with
the treasurer’s report.
Members followed a game
conducted by the youth leader called

Teddy bear bread
The Grey 4-H Club – dubbed the Yeast Beasts for this project – wrapped up its official
business late last month, meeting at the home of Don and Monique Baan to bake some teddy
bear bread. While they have now held their sixth and final meeting, members have agreed to
meet once more for a hike along the Goderich-to-Guelph Rail Trail and clean up any litter they
find. (Photo submitted)
