Tippecanoe Triumphs

"Funny Socks" led the way for the April 8 meeting of the Tippecanoe Triumphs 4-H Club. A recap of the previous meeting and the confirmation of this year's community service projects followed.

Club members decided they will assist with Canal Days, collect pop tabs for Riley Hospital, plant flags on veterans' graves, and collect food for the food pantry.

Demonstrations were presented by Nathan Springer - "Things That Can Burn You" and Maggie Sturdivant - "Baby Monkeys."

The club's next meeting will be April 22 at 7 p.m. The theme is "Backwards Day."
