Grant County 4-Her’s Earn Ribbons At Achievement Days

The South Dakota State Fair is just around the corner! It runs from September 1-5 in Huron. Grant County Achievement Days marked the last stop for all 4-H’ers on their journey to the Fair. During the State Fair, the local winners will compete in the livestock and static events and along with thousands of other South Dakotans enjoy a myriad of events from cowboy mounted shooting, beauty pageants, and auctioneering to Legos, jitterbugging, and chili contests. Entertainment in the Grandstand this year includes Dwight Yoakam, Foghat, and Steppenwolf.

At the local Achievement Days, the Grant County 4-H’ers not only competed and completed the millions of tasks that always go into the three-day event, but they also served over 800 people at their annual community-wide barbecue. They were assisted by the Milbank Kiwanis Club and the Grant County Pork Producers Association.

Achievement Days also marked the culmination of a nearly 9-month fundraiser – Kiss A Pig. The Grant County 4-H program joined forces with the South Dakota community service project to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Foundation of South Dakota. The local program set a goal of raising enough money to grant one wish to a person in South Dakota.

“As a county, we raised over $1,500 for Make-A-Wish,” stated Grant County 4-H Advisor Sara Koepke. Each club selected a representative to vie for the pleasure of kissing a pig. Donation cans for each club were placed in businesses and the highest collector received the honor. Tamra Peschong was the lucky winner and kissed the pig owned by the Dawn and Paul VanderWal family. “That was a step outside of my comfort box, but it was worth it for this great cause,” said Peschong.

At the conclusion of Achievement Days, Katie VanderWal was crowned Grand Champion of the Round Robin and Kendra Schweer was selected as Reserve Champion. Will Mischel captured the title of Grand Champion Showman of Excellence.

“It was an exciting week of animal and livestock shows and 44 animals were sold during the livestock sale,” said Koepke. “Grant County 4-H grossed $48,044 during the auction.”
