In late August and early September of 1925, Misses Wilma Zabel and Gertrude Koch of the Lincoln Township Go-Getters 4-H Club represented Scott County at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. Their demonstration\u00a0on the making of hooked rugs did very well\u00a0at the Mississippi Valley Fair on August 19th\u00a0and secured them a spot at the state competition.<\/p>\n

Wilma and Gertrude went on to win first place at the state championship in Des Moines and were\u00a0sent to the National Farm Bureau gathering in Chicago the first week of December 1925, where they gave\u00a0the same\u00a0demonstration before President Coolidge. They also won the championship for the four projects of girls club work: food, clothing, approved footwear, and home furnishings. Because they won that competition, they were sent to\u00a0represent Iowa at the interstate fair in Sioux City in September 1925.<\/p>\n

Wilma Annie Zabel was born on April 2nd, 1907 to Albert and Annie (Kay) Zabel. According to her obituary, published in the Quad-City Times on December 27, 2003,\u00a0she worked on the family farm for 55 years and\u00a0was a member of Farm Bureau and active leader of 4-H for many years.<\/p>\n
