We lost a big supporter of Purdue Extension and the 4-H program on Sunday May 17. Janice Uhlmansiek passed away on Sunday May 17, 2026. She was a member of the 4-H Fair Committee for 40 years and volunteered countless hours during the Fair and throughout the year. She was always seen at the Annual 4-H Achievement Programs helping Farm Bureau to oversee the food line, spent the week of 4-H Fair in Agner Hall protecting 4-H projects and overseeing the Family Arts contest. She also presented the Grain Station at AG Day for decades. She will be missed!

The Visitation will be held at Rullman Hunger Funeral Home on Friday, May 22, 2026 from 4-6 pm with a service to follow at 6 pm. This is the link to Eagle's obituary https://www.eaglecountryonline.com/local/obituaries/


In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dearborn County 4-H and Sparta Baptist Church.

It is with deep sorrow that I share the passing of Jan Uhlmansiek. As most of you know she fell last August and has been trying to recover ever since. She was taken to the hospital during the past week and passed early this morning. Please join me in praying for her family during this time.

Our fair runs on volunteers, they are truly the heart of our 4-H program. 💚

As fair week approaches, we need YOUR help with exhibit hall monitoring, office help, events, daily tasks, and more. Whether you can give a few hours or a few days, every volunteer makes a difference for our 4-H youth.

Volunteer sign-ups are not being shared publicly. Please contact your club leader, the Extension Office, or any Fair Board member for details!
