Hygiene Legend: Apple the cow

Local resident Nancy Dayton, owner of Apple the cow, reported that a bear had come into her yard looking to feed on Apple’s apples. They touched noses and when Apple the cowrealized she had something to lose here, she chased the bear away. Now this happened almost two years ago and it was reported in the national press. Resident of the property Penny Cox was there to take the pictures and tell the story. Cox is a wonderful artist and has produced a great pencil drawing of the incident. Apple now graces the front of T-shirts illustrating the Hygiene legendary resident that Cox designed for sale. These organic red cotton T-shirts are now selling at Boulder County General Store, 11809 N. 75^th St. in Hygiene. Another pencil drawing is also available.

The camp is held Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10: a.m. to 3 p.m. and the cost is $195 per week. The camp is for kids ages 5 to 13 and limited to 12 students. Everyday we will feed the animals and play with the chickens and goats, collect eggs, work in the garden, harvest and eat the vegetables, observe nature. These experiences will be the inspiration for art. The classes will be taught by Mary Magdalena, a licensed art teacher who loves to bring out the best in her students. Her farm is a wonderful environment in which to learn, play and create: offering drawing and painting, sculpture, clay and Native American arts. Spaces are still available.
