Hello!  My name is Anney Archer. I am 14 years old. I am a member of Ada Barnyard Farmers 4-H club.

Last year I took Sundresses and Jumpers. In this project I had to sew a sundress or jumper.  I chose a sundress and I even had to learn how to put ribbon, as a trim, on my sundress. 

I also had to learn how to put in a zipper. That was even a first for my mom, too. I really liked the extra time I got to spend with my mom. From shopping for material and accessories, to the time we got to spend sewing my dress. 

I was chosen to represent Hardin County at the state fair. I really had fun at this new experience. I love being in 4-H. I get to meet new friends and hang out with the friends I already know. You have meetings, activities, camp, and fair. 

I would encourage all to come and join 4-H and meet new friends.

About this feature
Hardin County has a long tradition of 4-H in our community. This year we are celebrating 100 years of National Extension, and 4-H is a big part of Ohio State University Extension.  In Hardin County over 850 youth participate in 4-H each year.

There are 34 different clubs in Hardin County, and youth can choose from over 200 projects to complete. Each week, the Ada Icon features and article written by a 4-H member about their projects and 4-H experiences.

The 4-Her of the week is also brought to you, in part, by OSU Extension Hardin County. To find out more out OSU Extension's many programs and services and 4-H, visit http://hardin.osu.edu.
