Granny’s Kids

Granny’s Kids 4-H Club met July 12 at Mrs. Kitko’s house.

The club had a mini goat show. Members learned that they are supposed to have the goat in between them and the judge. Mrs. Kitko also had members switch goats and set up their feet just like the fair. When they switched back to their own goats, they had a little trouble and messed up a few times before they got the rotation right.

The club had a picnic July 9. It was very nice. The next meeting is Aug. 30 at the goat barn to clean and set it up. (Submitted by Anthony Gillespie, news reporter)
