MSU
Museum exhibit showcases a century of head, heart, hands
and health
By Betsy Knox and LuAnne Kozma
Historical
photos, archival documents and objects show a century of
“head, heart, hands and health” in the “The
Michigan 4-H History Project: Celebrating 100 Years of 4-H”
exhibit at the
Michigan State University Museum in East Lansing.
Many
handmade projects show how Michigan young people have been
involved in 4-H through the decades. The exhibit opened
in April and will run until February 2, 2003.
This
is an opportunity for current 4-H’ers, volunteers
and staff members to gain a sense of “who we are”
in 4-H and what we value, treasure and strive for. It is
also a rare opportunity for former 4-H’ers, volunteers
and staff to reconnect with their 4-H roots and to celebrate
the significance this organization has had in the lives
of many youth.
4-H
clubs, families, volunteers, county advisory councils and
project programming committees, county fair boards, and
all other supporters of Michigan 4-H are invited to see
this one-of-a-kind exhibit.
The
MSU Museum is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday,
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. For more
information on parking, accessibility, holiday weekend hours
and other exhibit information, go to the museum Web site

Betsy
Knox is the state 4-H associate program leader for global
and cultural education and arts programming. LuAnne Kozma
is the state 4-H Extension specialist and assistant curator
for folk arts.
