Miss Nebraska out to change perceptions of 4-H, pageant
There's more to 4-H than just cows, Miss Nebraska Kelly Keiser said in McCook on Wednesday, and Miss Nebraska is not just about beauty, both perceptions she wants to change in her attempt to visit all 93 counties across the state.Keiser will be the first Miss Nebraska to visit every county if she succeeds.
Driving by herself across the state, she estimated she will finish her tour across Nebraska around May 11 in Fairbury, just in time to pass her tiara on to the new 2006 Miss Nebraska in June.
The 21 year-old from Gothenburg, who used to show cattle and hogs in 4-H, wants to get the word out that 4-H and the Miss Nebraska programs are both focused on education and scholarships, she said.
Many of the scholarships 4-H offers go untouched, she said, as no one applies for them, with grants also available for school programs and other organizations. (Read More)

Clubs have produced leaders in many fields
Charlotte Observer
"Join the ranks of the famous ... Join 4-H!
What do Al Gore, Faith Hill and David Letterman have in common? They were all 4-H'ers.
It's true. Faith Hill reportedly first sang in public at a 4-H mother-daughter luncheon when she was 7. Former Vice President Al Gore showed Angus beef cattle in Tennessee. And before we knew David Letterman (photo) as a late-night talk-show host, he hosted a children's television show, 'Clover Power,' that featured 4-H members.
As we know, they did not grow up to be farmers. So if you think 4-H is all about agriculture and rural America, let me re-educate you on the 4-H of the 21st century.
4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills. Although we are proud of our traditional roots in agriculture and domestic arts, that is not who we are anymore.
Today's 4-H programs focus on science and technology, public speaking, environmental stewardship and more." (Read More)
