Wow, how long ago did this happen?

It would be interesting to know if the parents of said youth were either =
Laurels themselves, and/or the submissions of the children were based on =
the similar interests of their parents or some other person.=20

In this day and age of palm pilots, cell phones, and other hand held =
distractions, it is oft times very difficult to get young people to =
focus on anything other than their computer games, even while at events. =
 One thing I will note is that once you do get their attention, you =
would be amazed at how attentive they can be, and how quickly they =
learn. =20

It is also difficult to get adults who have an in-depth (or even basic) =
knowledge of assorted A&S activities to volunteer to teach their skills =
to children, especially children that are not theirs. Keep in mind, the =
youth minister may also not know who you are or what you know.

To the person or persons who took the time to work with these young =
people and help generate their interest in the Arts and Sciences,=20
a hearty Vivat and thank you!!!

To the other persons out there who have the knowledge and skill,  the =
youth ministers of Artemisia need you.  Won't you consider contacting =
your local youth minister, letting them know what your fields of =
interest or specialty are, and offering an hour or two of your time to =
teach a class to the kids? =20
You'll be glad that you did.=20

Marie is correct in this.  We have had several Kingdom Youth  A&s =
Champions,
but only in years when there were youth competing.  One  year the =
champion
sheared the sheep, carded the wool, spun the wool, died the  spun wool =
in
two
different colors, then wove the wool into a beautiful scarf  which she
entered.
Another year (in which there were three different youth  entries) the =
winner
planted her own herbs, grew them to maturity, harvested them  and =
processed
them using three different methods and created a balm based on a  period
recipe.
The first entrant was 13 at the time and the second was 8  at the time.
They
both also submitted documentation that would have  competed well with =
most
adult entries.
