The Ada Barnyard Farmers 4-H Club held our second meeting of the year on Sunday, March 10.

We started our meeting with roll call to take attendance, followed by The pledge of Allegiance and our 4-H pledge.

There were demonstrations given by Riley Ferguson, Brody Erickson, Wyatt Ferguson, and myself.

We also had our election of officers, we voted on our 4H binder covers for best cover, and we also voted on a new t-shirt design! As always we wrapped our meeting up with a snack and refreshments!
