I was in 4-H for 10 years and loved every minute of it. I did sewing and foods. Also important was learning the proper way to conduct a meeting. We all knew what I leaders meant when they talked about Roberts Rule of Order. It was surprising to me how important these lessons helped me later in life. They also started an electricity program for girls and I learned how to make a trouble light and extention cord. I didn't do any animal projects, but my sons were in 4-H and learned more then I cared to about the animals along with them. I don't think I will ever forget backcombing a steers tail hair and spraying it with Aqua Net until it was stiff.
