4-H teaches life lessons, breaks bones.
More weird news:
4-H boys reportedly forced to fight
According to the article, counselors at a 4-H camp forced some of the campers to fight each other. They charged admission to the fights and placed bets on the campers. Apparently there was even hand breakage.
Now, is this any way to get rid of the organization's redneck stereotype? I was in 4-H for most of my youth, and while I did attend county fairs, watermelon seed spitting contests, and livestock judging contests, I did some great community service too. Even though it was often a pain in the ass, I am glad that I was a member, because I have some great memories.
Like the time I missed the New Kids on the Block concert for a heifer show.
