County Fair: A Jane Ellison 4-H Book (Jane Ellison: 4-H Novels)

New Jane Ellison story - The sweet smell of new-mown hay and the simple beauty of Indiana's farm land fills pretty young Jane Ellison with a wish to exchange her town life for the fun and excitement of the country. She finds an outlet for her enthusiasm when she joins the Cloverleaf 4-H Club. With her new friends, Jane takes part in wonderful projects in sewing, flower-growing, baking, and cattle breeding. All of this does not happen too quickly or easily, for in addition to the challenge confronting her in qualifying as a new 4-H member, Jane's mother is hopeful that she will concentrate more on her music studies. There is Chuck Ransome, too, whose quiet gaze brings a blush to her cheeks, even though Jane is puzzled by his inability to accept competition easily. But the approaching County Fair keeps all members busy with their projects. Jane finds time to organize the first club orchestra with the approval of everyone, including her mother and father. The climax of everyone's efforts is found in the colorful atmosphere of the County Fair.
