We officially kicked off our 4-H Chef Academy tonight! We had lots of fun learning how to make pancakes that we could add blueberries or chocolate chips too! We learned the steps in cooking bacon in the oven and browning sausage links. Each 4-Her made a pancake mix to take home, along with an egg casserole they can bake in the morning!!

Keep an eye out in the 4-H Tribune for upcoming Chef Academy classes!

Opportunity for Carroll County 4-H Members!

Get ready to get your hands messy and your creativity flowing! In this two-part series (8 and 18 years old), you’ll learn how to build, design, and decorate your very own clay wind chime using kiln-fired clay.

In the first session, you’ll learn fun handbuilding techniques like pinch pots and slab work to shape your wind chime.
Then, in the second session, you’ll add your own personal style with colorful ceramic glazes.

Your finished wind chime will be fired in a kiln and ready for pick-up about one week after the second class. Participants must attend both classes to complete their project. Come and create something unique that you can hang up and enjoy at home!

This is a two-part series held at the Extension Office on September 30th from 5:30pm - 8pm and October 14th from 6pm - 8pm. Registration is now open for Clay Handbuilding: Create Your Own Wind Chime at https://forms.gle/21AhZq1JoLkgCzBw5
