2009 Northeast Area Commodity Cookery
The 2009 Northeast Area 4-H Cookery was held Monday, February 16 at the First Baptist Church in Winnsboro. Five 4-H'ers from Caldwell were there competing against 4-H'ers from nine other parishes. They were eligible to compete in this area contest after having a first place dish at the Holiday Foods Festival held in November. The five 4-H'ers from Caldwell included Bailey Coates, Mallory Dannehl, Maggie Frazier, Nealy McCoy and Blake Sanford. Bailey won 2nd place in the Egg Cookery and a blue ribbon in the Rice Cookery. Mallory won a blue ribbon in the Pecan Cookery. Maggie won 2nd in the Sweet Potato Cookery and Blake Sanfrod won 2nd place in the Corn Cookery. Nealy McCoy won 3rd place in the Catfish Cookery and Chicken Cookery. Congratulations to these Caldwell 4-H'ers.
Fashion, Food and Fitness Club
The Fashion, Food and Fitness Club met on Wednesday, February 18 at Central Elementary. During the meeting, Karen Ezell, a cosmetics consultant, taught the 4-H'ers the importance of taking care of their skin and proper skin care techniques. 4-H'ers also signed up to be a part of the 4-H Relay for Life Team during this meeting. All members of the FFF Club are asked to be a part of this team. If you would like to sign up, please contact me at 649-2663 as soon as possible.

Character Corner - Responsibility
4-H members are expected to make responsible decisions in 4-H, school and home. Responsible people act in 4 ways:
#1 They do their duties.
#2 They are accountable for their actions.
#3 They work hard to achieve excellence.
#4 They control their behavior.
Why Snacks?
Snacks should be like mini meals that provide nutrients and food energy to help you grow, play and learn. Smart snacks can help you eat and drink enough during the day. Here are some tips to help you snack smart:
Keep food group snacks handy - raw vegetables, fruit, juice, milk, cheese, yogurt, bread, peanut butter and hard-cooked eggs.
Let snacks fill in the gaps. If you miss juice for breakfast, try fruit or 100% juice for a snack.
Time snacks carefully. Try to snack two to three hours before meals so you will still be hungry for lunch or supper.
Have snacks to satisfy hunger. Skip the urge to snack just because you are bored. Have a snack only if you are really hungry.
