I just wanted to tell everyone about the EEA fashion style show that I was invited to participate in. It was even more fun than I expected, especially because two of my best friends were there; Katelyn Heicsh and Brittney Stone. First we waited for it to begin and then we talked to the lady from the channel 10 news (even though I did not know she was from the news). Then we started the show off modeling the clothes we had sewn and entered in the fashion revue at the Bell County Youth Fair. Afterward we ate lunch and prepared for the County fashion revue for 4-H'ers.
Fo the fashoin show I was the only one in specialty intemediate so I placed 1st and I am going to Distict.

Bell County Youth Fair






BY VICTORIA BUCKNER
These are some of the quilts and other textile projets I entered in the Bell County Youth Fair. I entered all but three catogories in clothing and textiles, because I was going for the Polly-Esther award. I didn't get it this year, but it encourages me all the more to work harder next year. But my favorite part is the fashion revue, where you have to sew a garment, wear it, and be interveiwed by two judges. They judge you not only on how it looks but also on how it fits you, your knowlege of sewing, how well you present yourself, appropriateness for age and style of your garment, and interveiwing skills. The first year I placed third, last year I won champion, and this year I placed reserve champion, but unlike last year I received all excellent marks but one.
