The Pawsitive Attitudes 4-H Club held their second business meeting recently at the Alger Public Library. Pledges were led by Katherine Moore and Abigail Osborne, followed by roll call. Secretary, Ruth Anne Osborne, asked each member to answer roll call by stating the name of their favorite breed of dog. All 13 members were present along with Advisor, Mrs. Amyial Brown and three guests.
A fountain is the centerpiece of an extensive spring garden at the Harold Barker home on Klingler Road.
Here, poppies and phlox beautify the landscape on a sunny Friday. This year, fewer people will enjoy this long stretch of flowers bordering the road since Klingler Road is closed for construction near the Barker home.

Members of the Pawsitive Attitudes 4-H Club, Abigail, Catherine Jonathan and Ruth Anne Osborne, with their co-advisor Lydia Osborne, attended the DairyPalooza (West) event held recently at the Auglaize County Fairgrounds.
Attendees learned from professionals who came from all over the state to encourage and instruct 4-H members. A comprehensive Quality Assurance program was also provided, which attendees found highly informative and enjoyable.
