Family Living Focus by Laurie Weinreb-Welch Clinton Co. Extension Capturing Your Family’s Holiday History, Traditions Over the years, most families pass down their own special holi day traditions. Some of these traditions are fairly recent, but what about the ones that go way back? Wouldn’t it be great to sit down with the older relatives and find out what the holidays were like for them when they were growing up? Many older relatives have very clear memories of the past and would like to share them with in terested family members. These stories are unique treasures, but they will be forgotten if they are not recorded. One way to keep these valuable memories alive is to record your older relatives an swering questions about their past holiday experiences. J&*.

You could interview older parents, grand parents, aunts, and uncles. Decide if you are going to talk with individuals or in a group. Decide how you will record the interview. Audiotapes are simple to create and easy to play back and store. Video recordings can capture facial expressions and gestures. Use whatever you feel most comfortable with. Ask specific questions, but open-ended questions might re sult in more expansive answers. Allow the interviewee plenty of time to answer. Be sensitive, but don’t neces sarily shy away from sad or pain Christmas j-H 1 Special Buy your gift now & save i —F=n money - While they last l J [it SPECIAL ! ih] Re g Ret $499 95 $4 AQO3' Cash Price 5249 95 ■ / ' Micro Fiber Chaise Recliner ', <f Reg Ret 5799 95 1 Cash Price $39995 [ 1 Closeout $289.99 i FINAL CLOSEOUT- J V NEED TO MOVE ■ „ »259 03 ! f Corner FTBI \ Computer - I Desk w/ ■ ■ 1 1 Center Hutch I "J I Your choice Rust Top Reg Ret 5599 95 J w/Honey Oak or Cash Price $319 95" Natural Top w/Black Closeout $149 95 -.UNDER WHOLESALE 4- iter Desk w7file '' i Reg.

They can be im portant part of somebody’s holiday memories and teach us a great deal. Try to have some background information about the history times and places your relative will be talking about. Have a questioning strategy. You might want to start with the subject’s earliest memories and work forward or do it the other way around. Here are some examples of questions you could ask; What are your earliest holiday memories? What kinds of foods did you or your families prepare and eat during the holidays? Are their any special decora tions you remember from your earlier years? What was shopping and gift giving like when you were grow ing up? How are the holidays today different than they were years ago? Capturing holiday history through interviews can be inter esting and fiin for the entire fam ily as well as a way of preserving holiday traditions for generations to come. Remember that your rel atives are part of who you are and how you celebrate your holi days. Adapted from: Holiday Surviv al Guide 2000, University of Ken tucky Extension Service.

Diane Phillips, Saint Joseph’s University, visit with Carolyn Eaglehouse, dairy farmer at the Chester Springs Creamery, about the concerns of young farmers. Marketing Educators Surveying Young Farmers PHILADELPHIA Research shows that Pennsylvania farmers are getting older and that fewer young people are interested in becoming farmers. Dr. Diane Phillips, associate professor and chair of the Department of Marketing at Saint Joseph’s University, and Dr. Jason Phillips, as sistant professor of marketing at West Chester University, have been awarded a $50,000 research grant from the Center for Rural Pennsyl vania to understand the needs and concerns of young Pennsylvania farmers. As part of the study, a full-scale survey is being mailed to young farmers throughout the state. The project, entitled “The Future of Farming in Pennsylvania: An Investigation into the Needs and Con cerns of Pennsylvania’s Young Farmers,” is a 14-month study that began in January 2003. “We believe that if the State of Pennsylvania is to maintain its heri tage as a rural state, it must find ways to encourage young farmers to continue farming, as well as promote farming as a personally and fin ancially rewarding occupation to other young people,” said Dr. Phillips. “The findings will be provided to The Center for Rural Pennsylva nia to be distributed to key audiences, such as state legislators, non profit organizations, and farm advocates,” she added. “Our policy rec ommendations will focus on access to capital, the use of direct mar keting opportunities, and responses to increasing land values in Penn sylvania that make it difficult to buy land.” k £ I • Wedding Invitations • Brochures • Business Cards • Sale Cards • Catalogs • Newsletters • Newspapers Arl Haas One East Main Street P.O.
