4-H winners show off special touches in orange county
Claudia Pittenger Dorothy Van Houten and Kathy Kelly won the Orange County 4-H clothing revues with unique outfits. They will model their blue ribbon designs at the state dress revue in Syracuse in early September. Kathy notes it took months to complete her two-toned floral dress with sleeves and cape. Claudia knit a bright strawberry red dress, while Dorothy made a grey tweed coat with challenging bound buttonholes. All three faced sewing hurdles but gained valuable experience and look forward to State Fair judging for their modeling.
