4-H Club members meet author

Terry Golson, author of Tillie Lays an Egg and The Homestead Egg Cookbook, visited Upton last week to read her children's book about her backyard chickens. After the storytime, she stayed to meet with some of our club members and showed them how she used Clicker Training to get her hens to pose for pictures in her book!
