History

The Rosebud 4-H Club of Casselton, N.D. was founded in 1935 as a home economic club. The club began with six members, four living in the country and two living in town. Over the years the club became an urban rather than rural club and its main focus was subjects such as foods, clothing, and sewing. The club often won ribbons at the Red River Valley Fair for their exhibits and one act plays. In 1985 Rosebud celebrated its 50th Anniversary. Many of the previous and founding members returned and signed their names in the scrapbook. Rosebud continued to have a large and active membership when the donated records end in 1992.
