🌟 Volunteer Spotlight: Heather Dunk! 🌟

Today we want to take a moment to recognize one of our amazing 4-H volunteers, Heather Dunk! 💚

Heather has brought so much to our 4-H program through her time, dedication, creativity, and willingness to jump in wherever she is needed. She has helped create opportunities for our youth to learn, grow, try new things, and—most importantly—have fun along the way! 🐄🐴🌱🎨

Her passion for 4-H and the youth we serve truly shines through in everything she does. Volunteers like Heather are what make our program special, and we are incredibly grateful for the energy, ideas, encouragement, and heart she brings to our 4-H family. ❤️

Thank you, Heather, for all that you do and for the positive impact you continue to make on our 4-H members! We are so lucky to have you! 👏💚

Join us in giving Heather a BIG thank you! 🎉

If you are willing or able, the Exhibit Association will be needing all the help they can get at fair clean-up/tear down tomorrow, July 25th! Please bring shovels and brooms and come to the fairgrounds between 8am and 3pm tomorrow!

Please let us or the Exec. Board ([email protected]) know if you have any questions.

Hello everyone! Poultry exhibits were sent home early from the fair this weekend due to multiple cases of Coryza in the barn. Coryza is a respiratory bacteria that can spread quickly in poultry and is not uncommon. The disease does not present a human health threat. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) was ruled out during testing at the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (ADDL). This decision; that was made in tandem by project Superintendents, Fair Board Volunteers, 4-H Educators, and Indiana BOAH; to send poultry exhibits home is an effort to deter further spread of illness and protect the health of the poultry.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us via email at [email protected].

Welcome BACK Areli Mendieta-Santos to the summer intern team! 🖤💛

"Hi everyone! My name is Areli Mendieta-Santos, and I am an upcoming senior at Purdue University. I am majoring in Developmental and Family Science with concentrations in Child Development and Family & Community Health. I am also pursuing two minors; one is in Spanish and the other is in Latin American & Latino Studies. During my free time I enjoy thrifting, coffee tasting, and spending time with my family and friends. I may look familiar, as I am a returning intern! This is my second summer as a 4-H Intern with Purdue Extension and I am extremely grateful for another summer to continue growing, developing new skills, and expanding my experience. I’m excited for another summer of meaningful work supporting youth and their families!"
