Weldon girl wins 4-H dress revue at Iowa State Fair
Cheryl Jackson of Weldon High School won the 1967 Iowa 4-H dress revue with a brown suede jumper outfit costing 87 dollars including accessories. She plans to attend college and possibly teach home economies. Nancy Sanders of Montezuma was runner up with a plaid blue green navy shirt dress. The event featured numerous silver medals for other contestants and noted varying fashion styles from summer to fall. Also highlighted were hog calling winner Dale Brewer and various 4-H dairy and livestock champions from Iowa Falls, Sac City, Indianola, and other communities. Attendance figures showed a dip for the day compared to 1966, but seven day totals remained slightly ahead of last year. The Black Hawk County team won the 4-H competition, earning a trip to Columbus Ohio in October 1968, with individual honors going to Steve Crawford.
