Grownups often attend seminars
to learn about the latest research
to help them to do a better job at
their work.
Children usually stay home,
but on Tuesday, they had the op
portunity to go with their parents
to the Capital Region Dairy and
Silage Producer Family Day at
the Lebanon Valley Expo Center.
While their parents attended
workshops on cow and silage
production, the children had
their own workshops to attend.
With the help of Master Garden
ers and extension agents, chil
dren learned about nutrition and
helped make a snack mix using
popcorn, pretzels, peanuts, cere
al, and other food. They even got
to eat it and take some along
home.
Workshops were taught on
wildlife: duck, skunk, groundhog,
bear, fox, deer and possum.
They colored pictures. They
were taught how to plant seeds,
and even planted one in a cup to
take home to watch it grow.
Here are some photos of chil
dren enjoying activities just for
them.
Andrew Krall, 2, with the help of Master Gardener Larry Martz, plants a seed in a
container to take home.
Hunter Voight, 5, selects the Mallard duck as his favor
ite from many animals on display.
Checking out this display to see where farm safety is at
risk are Arlen Mills, veterinarian, with his children Jo
seph, 16, Ruth, 13, and Sandra Hall, family living agent.
