Awesome! Fantastic! Exciting! Educational! Fun! These were some of the words 4-H members used to describe their experience at the 2008 4-H Fun & Fashion Show held on December 10.
The activity, hosted by Fifth Ward Elementary 4-H Club, featured project stations and a style show. 4-H Agent Ken Guidry led the group in opening exercises. The project stations offered participants opportunities to learn how to make personalized pillow cases, to sew, to tie a tie and to model. The 4-H’ers went home with a packet of instructions for projects to try at home. 4-H Agent Robin Hart narrated the style show, which featured casual wear, special occasion and home-sewn garments. Participants in the show focused on learning how to model and building self-confidence.
Many thanks to Rachael Schexnayder, Myrna Schexnayder and Mollie Arceneaux for their assistance in making this event a success. State Fashion Board members from St. James – Christine Schexnayder and Geralyn Schexnayder, Megan Moran and Lindsey Arceneaux – served as Junior Leaders.
The host club provided refreshments, and volunteers supplied door prizes.

Fashion Camp kicks off on Saturday, Jan. 24, at 9:30 a.m. and concludes at 11 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 25. Campers will be busy day and night with an exciting agenda. Parishes have the opportunity to send a maximum of two 4-H campers (10-13 years of age) and one adult leader to camp. Because of limited space, Fashion Camp participation will be limited to 50 4-H'ers accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, reserved with payment and forms.
Registration fee for camp participants is $40 for campers and adult leaders and $20 for state board members and board leaders.
