I have written in a previous blog post about one of my 4-H experiences. For a couple of years in high school, I participated in 4-H as a member of a crop judging team. I spent a lot of time learning how to identify different types of seeds. I spent very little time learning how to evaluate hay which seemed to be the more important part of the competition. Anyway, I learned a little about crops and had a great time. We would go to competitions at the Mid-South Fair in Memphis. But the one that really counted was at the West Tennessee State Fair in Jackson. This was also my first exposure to the 4-H Chicken Shack.

4-H Archery Contest
When I was in high school, I was in 4-H. I wasn’t that active, but I did participate in a few things that they did. I competed in a talent show a couple of years, making some of the worst song choice decisions I’ve ever made. A good friend recruited me for the crop judging team. The man who was the leader for 4-H in our county, I’ll call him Mr. M, had been the 4-H leader when my dad was growing up. My dad was very active in 4-H and Mr. M knew him really well. Mr. M could never remember my first name and always called me “Wheela”.
