Apology:  I lost my notebook from this event, and therefore the information above is much less than complete.  If anyone wishes to add to this article with details of their science project, send us an email to pinchercreekvoice@gmail.com with your extra information. A big thanks to Kim Jorgenson for helping with information and identifications.
