Science Mini-Lesson
Written by Jayne Nagy   
Thursday, 22 October 2009

   Last year during our Wednesday afternoon warehouse visits, volunteer HEAR moms started hosting occasional mini-science lessons for the younger HEAR youth, in an effort to encourage curiosity and a desire to learn more about science. The kids participated in many lessons including how to make liquid to solid goop, how to force an egg into a bottle, how to make fake snot and even how to extract DNA from a strawberry.

 AgDay was an extremely fun day for me and my son Nikolay. It was great to see so many familiar faces and hallooing to them across the way as we moved

from station to station. Who knew you could learn such a variety of things all for a $1 entrance fee? I was particularly proud of my cousin Aaron as he gave an FFA presentation. How exciting to hear a young man speak of the importance of the study and practice of agriculture and good character! Good going Aaron!

Fall Harvest Party!
Written by Jayne Nagy   
Thursday, 30 October 2008

Through the coordinating efforts of Kathy Morris and assistance from many of the moms, the Fall Harvest party held at the

Pumpkin patch field trip
Fun at the Pumpkin Patch!
Warehouse October 29th was a huge success! If you missed it, you missed a wonderful time of fun and food.
Patricia Horner reported that we had 60 participants for the party which is approximately twice what we usually have.
There was food in abundance and games galore. Lots of the kids participated in an "eat-the-donut" contest where donuts were suspended from a rope and they had one minute to eat as many as possible, all without using their hands.
A count-the-treats-in-the-jar contest was held where most of the kids (including the big kids!) tried to guess how many treats were in a jar. Matthew Chaney won with his guess of 72. There were 74 so his guess was very close. His older brother Michael was second runner-up but as I told Matthew, he only had to share if his mom told him to. HAHAHA
The party ended with a cake walk where the kids walked around in a circle while the music played, then sat on a picture of a fall related item. Jackson Chaney pulled coordinating pictures form a bag and announced each one. It appears he's a natural for a game show host job some day!

The party was so much fun that Cheryl Chaney and Jayne Nagy are planning a Christmas party now. Be watching for details!

Linda Clayton's "recipe" for her cocktail wieners

Cut hot dogs into bite size pieces and toss them into a Crockpot with mustard and whatever jelly you have on hand. She happened to have grape and raspberry and I'm here to tell you, they tasted as wonderful as they smelled!

Ag Day!

Agricultural Field Day at Optimist Park was a great school day for Bryce and Aubree Gunter.  Our group started with the Person County Animal Control at 9am and ended with petting a calf after 2pm.  We learned how important safety is with lawn mowers, ATVs, guns and forest fires.  We saw tractors and a corn and hay baler demonstration by the Flat River Tractor Club.
