The Portland Breakfast Optimist Club and Benter Wealth Management team teamed up to provide funding for a new speaker system in the 4-H Arena and barns!

Part of the project was completed during fair week, making a huge difference in sound clarity during the shows and auction. Even more has been added since, providing better sound throughout the barns.

We’re proud to support our local 4-H exhibitors and invest in our community! 🐄🐖🐑
