Earlier this month our daughter Heather participated in her final 4-H COunty Fair. For the last 8 or so years she has had an excellent run with her basket projects. Odd numbered years she has been Reserve Champion, even numbered years she has been Grand Champion. This year she went out in a grand way, taking Grand Chamnpion, the Best of Show trophy for the upper classes, and was selected as the only State Fair entry for baskets from our county. I do have to say that this was an awesome basket - you have to see it in person to really appreciate it, but here are a couple pictures to give you an idea: Heather also received her Ten Year Award for 4-H. (Kids have only a 10 year window to participate, and those that complete projects in each of 10 successive years are so recognized.) She was also selected by the State Farm Bureau to receive the Tenure Award which is awarded to one boy and one girl in each county. This award recognizes kids that continue to participate, the projects they take, their success and achievement. Cleaned up very nicely, but still had to maintain the comfort level . . . . . At least they were dressy flip-flops.

Congrats Heather! That is an outstanding basket. Having made a couple of baskets, I know that she put alot of work into that entry! Wow! Hey Dave, does she take basket orders yet? That would look great in my Patriotic bedroom.

Very nice Heather. Your basket looks beautiful. How did you get into basket weaving? You accomplished alot in 10 years. Congrats to Heather and for all the love and support from her parents as well.

Princess Hannum, you look gorgeous in pink!
The basket is a work of art!! I'm so glad that you were recognized for all your tenacity and years of 4-Hing. I agree with Shirin...when do you begin taking orders?

Congrats Heather! I don't know about anyone else, but these pictures sure makes me feel a little older. I can remember Bill having her help out at my first couple of HL events, she sure has grown up

Congratulations Dave and Heather. Fantastic Basket. How did she learn to make such a neat basket. Did you teach her, Dave?
My four kids are also in 4-H. As Dave and Heather showed us there is a lot more to 4-H than raising chickens.

Congrats, Heather on your accomplishment. Now get Dad to open up a website where you can offer your work for sale. Tell him you will give him free parking and 10% of the profits after expenses. Bob

Congratulations Heather! Someday you might be as infamous – excuse me – as FAMOUS – as your Dad. Are you the one who was able to smack that penguin into the next century?
