Each year, the Carroll County Extension Office presents Ag Heritage Days. This year the program ran from October 21-23. For two days, students from around the county came to learn how settlers and American Indians lived in the area. On the third day, the exhibits and demonstrations were open to the public. The Chapter was invited to have a manned display. Our display centered on using native plants as dyes. There were six dyes demonstrated. Each had a dyed piece of cotton and linen displayed, along with a jar containing the solution used to dye the materials. There were also samples of the plants as part of the display. The display board also told about food, cordage and other ways native plants were used. There was quite a bit of interest in the display and many questions were asked about the display and our organization. The display was manned by Mike Strickland and Wendell Hoomes.
