The St. Joseph County 4-H Fairgrounds: More Than a Fair

There's a WHOLE lot more to the St. Joseph County 4-H Fair than carnival rides, elephant ears, and one big week every summer! This week, I'm joined by Monica Cook, a member of the St. Joseph County 4-H Fair Board of Directors, to explore the fascinating history of the fairgrounds, the 27 dedicated volunteer board members, and the incredible work happening behind the scenes! We talk about the importance of 4-H, the amazing young people in our community, the volunteers and local sponsors who make the fair possible, and some heartwarming, and downright hilarious, fairground stories! Plus, discover what happens at the fairgrounds the OTHER 51 weeks of the year! And the timing couldn't be better! 4-H enrollment opened November 1st! 🔗 Learn more: St. Joseph County 4-H Fair, events, rentals & sponsorships: https://4hfair.com/ St. Joseph County Purdue Extension & 4-H enrollment: https://extension.purdue.edu/county/stjoseph/ _______________________________________________ And don't forget to follow Round the Bend on social media for tons of local history videos!
