Hancock County 4-H hosted a Halloween-themed STEM Night, "Carve and Cackle" on Oct. 25 at Swaney Memorial Library in New Cumberland. The 4-H youth, along with adult volunteers and mentors, performed a variety of themed-science experiments, including Borax Pumpkin Crystals, Puking Pumpkin Volcanos, Pumpkin Gut Slime, and Pumpkin Chunkin' Catapults. The 4-Hers also made a healthy snack of pumpkin seeds with help from the club leaders. The event also held a pumpkin decorating contest which had six entries from 4-Hers Faith Barton, Ella Barton, Markus Carl, Lillith Lockhart, Charlene Hurst, Christian Hurst, and Helena Hurst. Each of the entries were awarded a $50 scholarship to any WV 4-H Camp in the 2023-24 4-H Year courtesy of the Hancock County Teen Leaders. — Contributed
