The Lomond 4-H Club had a big auction and聽steak fry聽at the Tribune Community Hall on April 6. It included members of the Beef Club,聽Homecrafts聽Club and the聽Light Horse聽Club.
The kids needed to be involved so they made a job list everyone had to sign. The kids had different shifts to work for the night. The jobs included working at the door, helping with the 50/50 draw, clearing tables, and washing dishes.
There were lots of hamburgers, coleslaw, potatoes, raw vegetables, salads and steak. For dessert there were cinnamon buns,聽cakes, cupcakes, cookies and much聽much聽more.聽
When the auction started,聽they auctioned聽baskets of聽baking聽and tools, or doing yard聽work and chores for half a day to a full day of work. All聽the money raised goes to the 4-H Club for lots of different expenses.聽
The Club was thankful for all of the buyers and people who participated. When it started to quiet down, the club members helped clean the floor, tables and picked up chairs.
Some people were probably wondering what was happening in Tribune as they drove by. Well,聽it was the fun, hardworking, 4-H聽Steak fry and聽Auction Sale.
The Lomond 4-H聽Homecrafts聽Club met up with Sheila Thackeray at her farm on April 5. The activity that day was called Diamond聽Dotz.
To make the Diamond聽Dotz, the 4-Hers used a stylus filled with a pink gel, which then can pick up the little coloured jewels that go on a sticky fabric sheet.聽
Sometimes the colours can get confusing, so that's why the members labelled little bags or containers with that colour.
鈥淵ou can tell where the colours will go on your sheet because they give you a pattern or number code on the side of your sticky fabric.聽When聽we finished our fabric sheets,聽Sheila brought out some snacks for when we were hungry,鈥� said Homecrafts member Raina Lohse.
As there was a bit more time left before they had to go,聽Sheila gave them an extreme Dot-To-Dot with 611 dots to find. When it was time to leave, they helped clean up and left for home.聽聽
