Adults And Youth Excel At Grant County Farm & Home Show
Community January 17, 2017 Staff Writer 0
The 69th Annual Grant County Farm and Home Show was held January 13-14. Each year, the Grant County 4-H program holds crop and home exhibit judging. Grant County 4-H Youth Program Advisor Sara Koepke reported, “There were 47 crop entries and 99 home exhibits.”
The Milbank Area Chamber of Commerce Agriculture Committee sponsors the crop show with monetary first, second, and third place awards for each lot. This year, there were also two $100 drawings for crop exhibitors – one for youth and one for adult exhibitors. The winners were Kendra Schweer, youth, and Richard Schweer, adult. Exhibitors who placed first and second in the crop show will be entered in the 2017 State Crop Show in Watertown.
