I was in 4-H in the 60's at a farm down the road. Made a sewing kit out of contact paper on a cigar box, felt needle book, patchwork pillow, etc. Didn't do much sewing, but lots of baking demos at the County Fair. I became a 4-H Camp Counselor in the early 70's- Nature Science. I recently reconnected with the woman who led the group- now in her late 80's. We meet at a local church to make pillowcase dresses for Little Dresses for Africa. 4-H taught us responsibility, integrity, persistence, and community involvement. It was a great experience with 2 of my sisters, and we got out of the house and away from the other 3 little siblings for some fun. I loved 4-H!
