Browns Valley 4-H Club After learning a lot at the Bi-County Goat Day and Horsemanship Clinic, the Browns Valley 4H Club is gearing up for another busy month. Our members are busy preparing for Fashion Re-view and Spring Fair. We are also getting our record books in order so that we can turn them in looking neat for our May judging. On April 19th, we will be visiting two local rest homes with our well-groomed and well-mannered animals. We love seeing the smiles that our animals produce, and enjoy the opportunity to provide community service. Submitted by Rachael Goforth
Dententer 4-H Club communication project has reviewed the following two movies: Tinkerbell: Appreciating who you are. By Emily Dyer, Sarah Shurtz, Abbie Chavez, and Faith Fonseca Should someone watch this movie? Yes. I say yes because it's fun for all ages and it is a great movie. It made you feel good. In the movie, Tinkerbell wants to be something else besides a tinker. She, also, wants to go to the mainland. When she ruins all of the preparations for Spring, she uses her tinker skills and fixes everything. She finds she likes being a tinker. She even gets to go to the mainland. Tinkerbell was great, funny, and cute. She make us laugh really hard. I say the movie was funny and a great family film. Horton Hears a Who: A Good Movie. By Zach Willert, Cory Willert, Evan Willert, Mi-chael Shurtz, Robert Shurtz, and Sarah Shurtz. "Horton Hears a Who" is a good movie. It's about Horton, a speck, people on the speck (the who), a kangaroo and the other animals in the jungle. In the jungle of Nool, Horton tries to get a speck that has Whos on it to a safe place. The kangaroo gets other animals to try take the speck to de-stroy it because she doesn't believe that there is anyone on the speck. The mayor of Whoville is trying to make the people of the town believe that Horton is trying to protect them. Horton is very funny. Everything is solved in the end. It was a happy movie. It was adventurous. It is a movie that everyone should to see.
