👑 Market Youth Spotlight 👑

This young lady is royalty! Kayah Yopp has spent the past year representing our agricultural community as the Ag Expo & Fair Princess, serving as an ambassador for agriculture and the fair with grace and enthusiasm.

Kayah is active in several 4-H clubs and is celebrating her 5th year selling livestock through the market sale. This year, she plans to sell a market turkey and may also have a meat pen of rabbits in the sale.

When you support exhibitors like Kayah, you’re investing in hardworking young people who are developing leadership skills, responsibility, and a passion for agriculture.

This year marks a bittersweet milestone for Lauren Latta as she makes her final trip through the Market Sale ring. Lauren will be selling both a Turkey and Market Rabbits at this year’s sale to finish out her 4-H career.

Outside of the barn, Lauren has been working just as hard in the classroom. She recently earned her Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education & Special Education from HCC. She plans to attend Shippensburg University this fall to complete her Bachelor’s Degree and begin her journey toward becoming a teacher.

We are so proud of all Lauren has accomplished and can’t wait to see what the future holds for her. Let’s pack the stands on July 23rd and help send Lauren out with a bang for her final Market Sale!

Meet Emmersyn Freysz and her market goat, Ben!

Emmersyn picked Ben out when he was just a baby because she loved his unique coloring. Since then, she’s put in the work to halter break him and get him ready for fair season. This project has taken a lot of patience, time, and dedication — and she’s had a little extra help along the way from her younger brother Cole.

Be sure to watch for Emmersyn and Ben at this year’s Market Sale on July 23rd!
