A health/safety report was given by Henry Hunter on how to get your horse into the trailer safely. A report was given by Alex Anderson on the state shoot. Myles Larson and Gavin Scofield told the group about handing out poppies and collecting donations for Veterans.  Isaiah and Elisha Schultz told everyone about the special foods contest.

Spens and Acaiya reported on setting barrels, and Henry told the club about the horse show. 

For old business, the club will need to reschedule their trip to visit McCrossan Boys Ranch and Air Madness sometime this fall. Their community service project to take the residents for a walk to and around the lake will be scheduled sometime in July.

For new business, the fashion revue and public speaking contests are coming up on July 16. They have a number of members who plan to participate. A work date needs to be scheduled to put together a new set of 4-H bleachers.

Cloverbud members and some of the 4-H members enjoyed experimenting with washable tattoos, led by Leader Jen Sandness.

Following the meeting, Alex Anderson gave a demonstration on making fun and healthy snacks. Leader Paula Linke led a judging activity where club members learned about beef and sheep parts identification for livestock judging. The meeting ended with some fun relay races.

The next meeting will be scheduled in July.
