I wish every state had 4H activities like that. It's so good to see.
Back in the late 50's and early 60's my brother and I were 4H members. Chris excelled as a real marksman with medals & badges that I was so jealous of. My preference at the time was the fly-tying group and I became so good at it that I was "on display" as the Eastern States Exposition tying flies for the public to watch.
The Governor and his wife stopped by to watch. She asked if she could have one of my flies. I said yes of course and she stuck it into her cashmere coat....
