Example: “Here comes MMM County 4-H’er, John Doe, in his snazzy, blast-from-the-past suit. This outfit features a vintage jacket and matching brown slacks and was worn by John at his senior prom. The white shirt and brown tie compliment the jacket and pulls the outfit together. Simple brown shoes complete the look. His friends really liked this outfit and were surprised to learn he paid under $10 for the pieces while they spent well over $100 to rent a tux! John has enjoyed helping younger members in his club, doing community service projects and being on 4-H county council. This fall John will attend college with a business major. He plans to wear his “new” suit in college also.”
