Many teen club members and adults at the Butler County Extension Office were scrambling for three days this past week keeping fifty-five kids involved with all the available activities.  These activities included painting, tie-dye shirts, wood-burning, walking sticks, making and painting birdhouses, papier-Mache masks, scrapbooking, popsicle stick basket making, and baking.

Everyone was glad to be able to see their friends and socialize.

Lloyd Saylor was busy giving advice and answering questions. Alecia Hillard and Jesse Greathouse kept everyone on schedule and in their assigned groups, while Lauren Tyree kept the kids from putting too much flour in the biscuits. Michele Moore and Tracy Thornton were pitching in wherever needed. Catron Burdette assisted the kids in making papier-Mache masks, while Tiffany Boone led the future artists in painting.  

Ryleigh White , Maddie Jones , Kiersten Foit , Tiffany and Claire Boone were the painting instructors

4 – H teen club members Lilly Glass, Brady and Maddie Jones, Sarah Grubb, Cayden Southerland, Lola Clark, Ciara Smith, Kree and Koen Johnson, Elianna and Raikena Hampton, Caitlynn Hughes, Claire Boone, Sophia Burn, Carmen Taylor, Anna Claire Phelps, Willie Brown, Harmony Taylor, and many others were involved in leading activities.
