On to state
Dobra Noal of Dike, who won the District 4-H Fashion Revue is
looking forward to the state contest coming up in Austin on Sept.
1S-1*. The Sulphur Springs High School freshman is the daughter
of Junior and Nell Neal.
Sewing up win
Petite Debra Neal of Dike has
won her way into the State 4-H
Fashion Revue that will be held
Sept. 14-16 at the Driskill Hotel
in Austin.
The Sulphur Springs High
School freshman was the
youngest competitor in the
Hopkins County Dress Revue,
senior division. She competed
against 13 others at the District
4-H Fashion Revue recently
and won there. Miss Neal is the
third Fashion Revue district
winner from Hopkins County in
the past 10 years.
A member of 4-H for the past
six years, Miss Neal was eager
to Join the organization because
of her older brother Mike. “He
was always getting to do things
and I wanted to go, so I Joined
as soon as I was nine,” she
explained.
Although sewingis her
current project, Miss Neal has
also participated in home
environment, photography,
foods and nutrition, clothing
and dairy judging projects.
Dairy judging was natural as
her parents, Junior and Nell
Neal, own a dairy in Dike. Miss
Neal said, “I help around the
dairy some, but not very often.
It’s not too enjoyable but I’ll do
it if I have to.”
Finding time to help around
the dairy becomes more of a
problem as she grows up. She is
active in her church and plays
women’s slow pitch softball.
Now that she has started high
school, she feels her time will
be even more limited.
