Iron Chef Vs. Valentine's Day

It's a new year and new events for teens! On Valentine's Day we had a special Iron Chef competition. Iron Chef is a popular show where cooks are challenged to make the best dish. Towards the end of the challenge the cooks are given a surprise ingredient that they must incorporate into their creation.

Round 1: 

Secret Ingredient... Peeps!

Judge Lisa inspecting the creation.

Haunted Gingerbread House Competition

October's TAG meeting consisted of food and horror! Two teams competed against one another to make the best Haunted Gingerbread House. Given the same supplies the teams worked together to come up unique and horrifying works of art (that were very delicious). When time was up two library staff members judged the houses and a winner was declared! Next TAG meeting is Wednesday, November 23 from 2:30-3:30 pm. No need to register, just show up!

 Team 1!

Team 2!

The Winner!

Voted "Most Original"

Make Your Own Pizzas

Today was a pizza party! We made regular mini-pizzas and sugar cookie dessert pizzas. The oddest ingredient-pretzels on normal pizza! Apparently, it tasted good.
Miss Jess and Miss Nicole wanted to thank everyone who have come to our events this summer. We had a great time, and we hope those who came did as well. We will be starting up TAG again in September, and we hope to see everyone who has come this summer as well as some faces.  Remember if you have any ideas about activities TAG could do or volunteer opportunities for us, please let us know.
'Til Next Time,
Your Friendly Neighborhood Librarians

Yum, Yum, Yum....

Amazing Race

We had 4 teams follow the clues, complete the tasks, and finish the Amazing Race at the Library. And had a blast while doing it. Congratulations to Samantha and Aiden who finished first! Nicholas and Peter were a very close second. Thank you all for coming!
Please join us for our last TAG event of the summer next week Monday, July 25th, where we'll be making pizzas!

Terrarium

Today, we created our very own terrariums, the plants that are known not to die. However, those who came seemed already to be good gardeners. A reminder: lightly spray them with water about once a month and take off the cover if they seem to be getting moldy.
Please join us for our text teen event next week Wednesday, July 20th for Amazing Race at the library!
