¢The Douglas County Pioneer 4-H Club met in December at Vintage Park in Baldwin. Members put together cookie trays to deliver to those in need. They also went Christmas caroling. During the meeting, they discussed the Douglas County Food Fair, which will be Feb. 18, and County Club Days, which will be Feb. 4.

The club also met in November when club leaders Larry and LaDonna Wilson passed out awards and pins to members who earned them during the past year. They announced the club won a purple award for the club seal.
