The bake-off awards were presented during the annual Holiday Party with over 50 people in attendance. This year was the first year a chili cook-off was included in the festivities. Four chili entries were submitted and the kids voted for their favorite chili. The winner of the chili cook-off was Ms. Shawn Royce with Animal Adventures. Gingerbread house decorating, toilet paper snowmen, and Christmas Jeopardy were among the festive activities for the youth. The adults enjoyed an evening of visiting with other 4-H families.
A fun time was had by all.
A special thanks to Mrs. Yolanda Smith for helping put together the gingerbread house kits and to our bake-off judges for coming out to support our youth.
