Food preparation is an essential life skill, with those preparations come the art of baking.  An entire day was dedicated to 14 aspiring young 4-H Bakers who, over the course of 6 hours, were taught this very important life skill. Topics covered hand washing and sanitation, and proper measuring practices, methods, and terminology. The young bakers navigated multiple work stations to complete 6 different 4-H recipes for baked goods. 

The efforts of the participants resulted in 84 county fair entries.  One participant stated "Baking Day is my absolute favorite day at the Extension Office!"
