FFA members pay tribute with Ribbon Quilt
03/09/2011 |
When Marti Lance from Rittman, Ohio, heard about a ranching accident that took the life of 9-year-old Rowdy Hayes Smallwood, better known as “Cowboy Rowdy,” she wanted to do something to help. A longtime quilter, she knew a wall hanging would be an appropriate tribute to the little cowboy from Wyoming, but wanted to connect it to his love for showing horses and goats.
She called out to FFA and 4-H members across the country through Facebook, and as a result, they sent hundreds of ribbons from livestock fairs and exhibitions that she then used to make a wall hanging for Rowdy's parents.
