PictureResearch Intern Kristen Gallagher (right) talks to NewsChannel 5 Reporter Jackie Pascale about dairy cow feeds in a promotion for the Beat the Boredom winter break program.
For the second year in a row, Miner Institute and The Alice T. Miner Museum helped to ensure that area school kids weren't too bored during their winter break by offering a Beat the Boredom program.  The event was held on Feb. 20 at The Alice and Feb. 21 at the Institute. 
News Channel 5 Reporter Jackie Pascale came to both locations for live interviews to promote the program during the 5 am to 7 am newscast on Feb. 20. 
The program at The Alice featured craft projects using silhouettes, optical illusions, and sun photography. There were more than 20 kids who attended and they all seemed to have a great time!
Those who attended the program at the Institute were able to make a bird feeder with Point Au Roche State Park Naturalist Kristin Collins; make 30-minute mozzarella cheese with Director of Lab Studies Steve Kramer; play corn hole; and do a scavenger hunt around the BERC building where they got to eat Cabot cheese, learn about dairy cow feeds, learn about how we use cannulated cows in our research program, play pin the tail on the horse, and sit on an English or Western saddle!  We had around 30 kids who attended and a great time was had!!  We certainly will plan a 3rd Annual Beat the Boredom program in collaboration with The Alice in 2021!

I really love how you were able to come up with this kind activity or game in order to create an environment that is fun and exciting. I am so sure that the kids will enjoy the activities you have prepared for them as well as the prizes you will be giving. I can't wait to see the result of this activity and I hope that you will continue to update us with every detail that you would like us to know about it, I am looking forward to see more of your activities in the future. Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish you all the best!
