Taxidermy 4 H Project Brings Father Daughter Bond
Twelve year old Laura Charlton of Homewood pursues taxidermy as a self directed 4 H project with her father Roger. They restore dead animals, mainly ducks and birds, transforming feathers into lifelike forms while discussing costs and future ambitions such as an armadillo and rattlesnake. Laura emphasizes learning by trial and error and has given talks at club and class levels. The Franklin County Fair is on her mind as she plans to showcase a stuffed animal.
