We are incredibly grateful for Bob’s many years of friendship, leadership, and support. His commitment to Extension and to the people of Daviess County has made a lasting difference.

Reminder: today is PROJECT PICKUP at the Exhibit building until 4pm. If you are unable to make this time work, please reach out to the Extension Office at 812-254-8668 and set up a time to pick up your project, comment cards, and ribbons from the Indiana State Fair.

Due to our office moving, we do not have the capacity/space to store projects as we have done in the past. Projects will be discarded if they are not picked up or have a plan to pick up.

We appreciate your assistance in this!

There is something truly amazing about making the Grand Drive at the Indiana State Fair! 🏆✨

We are beyond excited and incredibly proud of our four 4-H youth who earned the opportunity to walk into that ring with confidence, dedication, and pride.

The quality of livestock and level of showmanship at the Indiana State Fair is truly top level, and our 4-H youth have worked hard to be among the best. The hours of practice, preparation, early mornings, late nights, and countless moments spent working with their animals all came together for that one incredible experience.

We couldn’t be prouder of these four young people and all they have accomplished. Their hard work, dedication, and passion for 4-H are shining examples of what this program is all about.

Congratulations to Landrey Krieger, Aubrey Ferguson, Emma Yoder, and Braylee Bennett.
