Look closely at Etelka Feher’s Dodge County Fair project, and more than 50 hours of painstaking beadwork will be found -- not only beadwork but also family heritage, FFA leadership, memories from childhood and a craft that has become a way for her to connect with people.
Youth brings heritage, pride to fair
Etelka Feher, 16, Waupun FFA president, displays the 50-hour beaded hat she entered at her first Dodge County Fair. The intricate design incorporates elements of her Mexican and Hungarian heritage along with the rising sun, the symbol of an FFA president.
