Glenda M. Snyder is shown on the right with four of her students holding their 4-H ribbons many years ago. Glenda began her career as Botetourt’s Unit Director in 1979 and went on to become the county’s 4-H Extension Agent for three decades. This photo is part of the “Home Grown: Botetourt’s Agricultural History” exhibit. It is also on a slide show that captures some of the people, places and traditions that have shaped Botetourt’s rich history. The 4-H name in Virginia was officially adopted in 1920. It is structured around four primary pillars: stem education, agriculture, healthy living and civic engagement.
The Botetourt Museum of History & Culture will have a program to celebrate National 4-H Week on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. at the Fincastle United Methodist Church Family Life Center. Glenda Snyder will present the program “Memories of Botetourt 4-H.”
