Clover QuestÂ
Clover Quest 4-H had their first meeting of the year on September 21st at the Newark Free Library.  Jade Wasgatt, the president, called the meeting to order at 4:00.  Olivia Owens led the Pledge of Allegiance, Collette Owens led the 4-H pledge, and Jade led the moment of silence.  The other officer present was Katrice Wasgatt, the club secretary.  In old business the elected officers for this year were announced, which included the two previously mentioned as well as Therese Owens, the club reporter.  Membersâ participation at the state fair was commended.  Families were reminded to renew their memberships during new business.
The club then divided into age groups to play games. Â The 5-11 year old group played tic-tac-toe by tossing bean bags into a hula hoop grid and then a version of hot potato in which one clubber tried to guess who was holding the item at the end. Â The teenagers played ânever have I everâ and a game that involved tossing a ball into a bucket. Â For the snack, Ms. Blaky Wasgatt, the club leader, made delicious brownies that everyone loved, and revealed that the primary ingredient was black beans.
Jade gave a presentation about preparing an animal to be shown at the state fair, using her own goat, Dakota, to demonstrate.  She discussed the importance of grooming, shaving, and practicing leading the animal.  She then gave everyone an opportunity to feed the goat and led the group in a game of Jeopardy to test their memory.  The meeting was adjourned at 5:30.
