Four H trip to Chicago vivid livestock exposition tale
Mrs. Marvin Hassebroek writes of a Winnebago 4 H group chaperoned trip to Chicago for the International Livestock Exposition. The report covers Board of Trade tours, the Prudential Building, Chicago Loop sights, Harlem Globetrotters, a Chicago church visit, Hall of Science and Industry, a coal mine ride, Cracker Jack factory tour, Republic Steel visit, shopping and a nine hour return train ride. She praises the experience and notes that a good 4 H record supports eligibility for such journeys.
