boys joined forces as they showed fellow members how to make healthy trail mixes from dried fruit,
popcorn, pretzels, and goldfish crackers for their project, Snack Attack. Keira Miller demonstrated how

chopsticks. Cloverbud Jacob Johnson shared multigrain pretzels he made for his 4-H Yeast Breads project.
Flour and fun could be found all over the church kitchen, as members measured and weighed equal volumes

cups and water.
