Clover Kids get the “inside scoop” about pumpkins ...

Allamakee County 4-H Clover Kids enjoyed a pumpkin science-themed meeting recently and found out just how gooey a pumpkin’s insides are (as evident in the faces of some of those Clover Kids pictured above at right). Some took on the challenge and attempted to count all the seeds they discovered inside (as pictured in photo at center). Clover Kids then made thankful pumpkins (such as in the photo below) and wrote three things on their pumpkin they were thankful for. Youth also enjoyed the book “Runaway Pumpkin” and guessing what was going to happen next. For more information about 4-H and upcoming activities contact the Allamakee County Extension and Outreach Office at 563-568-6345 or http://www.extension.iastate.edu/allamakee/. Submitted photos.
