4-H Club reviews basic procedures
By Robin McKnight
EXETER — The Exeter Beef 4-H
Club held its second meeting at
Andrea Hern's house May 8. Club
president Elisha Coleman called the
meeting to order and secretary
Katie Hern asked the roll
question: What have you
named your 4-H project?
Although some members
are still deciding most have
chosen their calves'
names.
Reviewing basics
After reviewing notes and upcom-
ing events the members headed out
to the barn. Using Katie and Cody
Hern's 4-H projects, senior members
partnered up with junior members
to teach the basics of brushing and
grooming the calf as well as the very
important quick release knot. The
quick release knot is always used
when tying calves. If the calf
happens to get itself into trou-
ble you are able to untie the
knot quickly to prevent the calf
from strangling itself.
Once again thank -you to the Hern
family for hosting this meeting and
providing snacks afterwards. The
next meeting is on June 5 at 7 p.m.
at McCully's Hill Farms.

HURON —
Don't be left
behind when
racers in this
year's Huron
United Way
fundraising
Amazing Race
head out
across the
county in
fierce competi-
tion of brain
and brawn.
With the
Friday entry
deadline loom-
ing, teams are
scrambling to
raise the $500
entry fee that
will put them
among 30
teams at the
starting line at
7 a.m. on June
24.
"Our first
race last fall
was a lot of
fun for com-
petitors. This
time we've
raised the bar
by drawing on
the skills of a
very creative
committee that
includes some
of last year's
racers.
They've
invented a
race course
that will force
competitors to
dig deep," says
Huron United
Way executive
director Kim
Payne.
"It will be a
challenge to
their team-
work abilities,
to their deter-
mination, and
to their physi-
cal stamina. At
the same time,
they'll have
the best day in
memory."
Racers will
compete rain
or shine for
the $1,500 top
prize and a
raft of other
prizes in the
competition,
which mimics
CBS's popular
"Amazing
Race."
All money
raised from
the event will
support the
Huron United
Way.
Last year,
racers cleaned
horse stalls,
bagged saw-
dust, milked
cows, sang
karaoke and
completed
nearly 30
tasks in the
day -long
event. Along
the way, strag-
glers were
eliminated
from the race,
until the moth-
er -daughter
team of Julie
and Erin
Gibbings
crossed the
finish line in
Bayfield to
capture the
top prize.
Racers then
swapped sto-
ries over a free
lunch.
While details
of this year's
race are top
secret, orga-
nizers are will-
ing to say the
event will take
racers to all
corners of the
county. And
with 840,960
acres of land
stretching
from the
lakeshore
inland, that
will be a lot of
ground to
cover.
"Teams are
going to have a
blast, and it
will all be for
the benefit of
Huron. United
Way," said
Payne. "So
grab a part-
ner, complete
the very first
challenge,
which is to
raise the $500
entry fee by
the deadline.
Look for a sin-
gle sponsor,
make your
own donation
or gather
pledges from
friends, but
make sure you
do it by May
26."
