North Platte Post
Post News Director Canon Rath chatted with 4-H'er Halzee Etherton and 4-H Development Extension Educator Caitlyn Jacobson about the 4-H Barn Quilts project.
NORTH PLATTE - 4-H is America's largest youth development program across the United States that helps learn skills that will last a lifetime. The age requirement for 4-H is the ages of 8-18. There are many different categories that 4-H'ers can participate in during their time in the program including barn quilts. Barn quilts are unique as they're woodwork, not a blanket.
Hazlee Etherton, a 7th grader at Hershey Public Schools has been involved with 4-H for 6 years. Last summer, she took home the blue ribbon for barn quilts and already has in mind what she wants to use for her project for this upcoming fair season. Etherton is also involved with many different categories in 4-H.
