4-H expands club activities and first state camp in Palo Alto county
Cooperate with Camping and That Show organized by the Chamber of Commerce. 4-H home economics studied clothing while agricultural members focused on animal science and engineering. In 1963 about 600 4-Hers participated. Older 41ers were interviewed for state events and after the conference shared experiences with all 4-H clubs. They presented a citizenship skit viewed by 400 people. The first Palo Alto 4-H camp sent 30 girls and 30 boys to Madrid with age 16 to 17, featuring 4-H studies and a visit by State 4-H leader C. J. Gauger. A late December officers training school prepared newly elected 4-H officers.
