The Town ‘N Kountry Kids 4-H Club Blue Group met on Feb. 16, at the Letcher Community Center. The meeting was called to order by member McKenzie Uecker.

Bryce Larson gave the treasurer’s report. A motion was made to approve the treasurer’s report by Caleb Kneen and second by Sidney Richardson.

Old Business: Sidney Richardson gave a report on shooting sports. Shooting sports received a grant from the NRA. The grant will be used to buy guns, targets and stands. Sidney also reported several members have qualified for the state shooting sports event to be held in April. Fruit sales orders are due to the Extension Office by Feb. 27, and each family is asked to sell five items. Club calendars will hopefully be here by the next meeting for easier note taking.
