| Impact Report | Ten percent (16%) of the individuals who have taken a craft, sewing, or quilting class from the Lea County Extension Service, exhibited their projects at the Lea County Fair or the local quilt shows. The projects were judged at these events and the individuals received high placings for their projects. In the last 5 years the judges of the Creative Arts Division of the fair have commented on the quality of workmanship they have seen in the exhibits they are judging. For some participants, the projects have become a family affair. The parents have come to learn the skill, then in turn have taught it to their children. Because of this “trickle down” effect, several have taught their sons and daughters how to quilt or sew. Three out of the ten kids, exhibited their projects at the fair in the open youth division. In 2011, the open youth entries showed a large increase in the creative arts type exhibits. The youth who had been taught by these skills by their parent, had completed several different articles and placed high in their classes. |
