This outfit was designed and made by Cassidy Vineyard of North
Platte, Nebraska. Cassidy is a Lincoln County 4-H'er and was
the winner of the National Style Review in 2000. Cassidy made
the outfit specifically for this exhibit and says she created
it "to be representative of youth in 2002. The bright
colors and unique designs display the energy and vitality of
today's youth. The jeans have bleach stains spelling words such
as love and angel depicting the positive, creative, and innovative
attitudes of youth around the world. The bright pink and blue
rhinestones represent the gems, or individuals, of our world
who work to change the status quo of their communities. In the
back you will find a neon pink lace insert. The neon pink is
shocking as it draws your attention to look closer. That is exactly
what today's generation of young people require, attention and
a closer look. The motivations, personalities, and aspirations
of young people are shocking, fresh and require attention, a
closer look, and most of all an open mind for making the best
better."

Using Chicago's "Cows on Parade" public art exhibit
as their inspiration, Gage County 4-H staff developed the "Bovine
Baby" project in 2001. Twelve fiberglass dairy calves were
obtained and each one was decorated and exhibited by a 4-H club
or family.
