4-H and Sewing in the 1940s — 2 Comments

  1. You have nailed my experience! My dad started a 4H club when I was 12. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I loved demonstrating and public speaking. Using everything I learned in 4-H, I won a four year tuition scholarship to the University of Missouri in a meal demonstration contest sponsored by Empire District Electric, in Joplin!
    Competing and speaking on my feet has helped me all through my life. Did I tell you I became an extension home economist ?
    Thanks for writing this Carolyn.

    • Thanks for confirming the lasting value of 4-H. I’m guessing you liked sewing a lot more than I did.
