Trash to Treasure!





What an awesome meeting tonight! We got to make some really interesting Market Bags, Pencil Cases, Back Packs, Lunch Sacks, etc. - all from Recycled Feed Sacks! That's right The Thrills & Skills 4 H group were personally responsible for keeping at least a dozen Feed Sacks out of the Landfills! Nice work everyone!

The Morton's, Corcoran's and even Cindy from our local Brunswick Agway provided us with the feed sacks. Here are Hannah and Grace choosing which they will use to make their project.

Gabby and Mrs. Renna get to work on Gabby's bag.

Nessa and Mrs. Corcoran work on Nessa's lunch sack.And, in just under 2 hours just about everyone finished one project or another. Such variety, such style! Way to go Thrills & Skills-ers! Save those cool bags to bring to the fair!

Thanks, too, to Maeve, Nessa and Beibhinn's Grammy for supplying us with the zippers! They worked great!


Thanks, also to Bernadine Wiesen from the 4H office for coming to our "pre-meeting" this evening and talking with many of the families about the Pheasant Rearing Project we are looking to pursue this Spring!

Here we are watching a short video about the program. It was a great chance for the kids to learn first hand about the program and get many of their questions answered. The adults in attendance learned a lot, too! Thanks Mrs. Wiesen for taking your time to meet with us!
