Hardin County – The Hardin County Agriculture Hall of Fame has announced the 2020-21 honorees to be inducted at the eighteenth annual Agriculture Hall of Fame recognition banquet. The 2020-21 inductees include: Ronald E. Cronley, John Knedler, Ira Carl Marshall, Jerry McBride, and Dave Russell. The banquet will be held on Tuesday, December 7th, beginning at 6:30 pm at St. John's Evangelical Church on East Carrol Street in Kenton. The public is invited to honor these inductees and their families, and to recognize their many accomplishments.

Your crew is awesome! I was worried about my son's Electricity project not getting done with my very little understanding of it. Amanda answered my questions and concerns and made an appointment for me and my son to go over the book. We met Adam and spent time with him going over the fundamentals of electricity, he even helped Wyatt with making a open and closed circuit. Thank you so much! Just another reason to join 4-H!
Please remove if not acceptable! Had a friend tell me there may be some llama llovers here?! :) Let me know if you wold like a tote!

Attention Hardin County 4H Horse Members:
The Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) will be holding their Western Semi-Finals in Findlay, OH on June 2-3, 2018 at the University of Findlay Western Farm featuring 150+ Reining and Horsemanship IEA riders from across the US. This is a great opportunity to see what IEA has to offer. The IEA season is September - June for Hunt Seat and Western for riders in grades 6-12 and there are more than 12,000 riders nationwide who participate.
4H Clubs, barns and schools can easily start an IEA team - you only need 3 riders in either middle school or high school. It is a great way to give kids the opportunity to show year round. IEA uses a draw-based system and riders do not need to own a horse or tack as these are provided for every rider at every event. You can learn more at www.rideiea.org or by contacting Jenn Eaton at [email protected].
This event in June in Findlay is open to the public and there are vendor areas available for $50 - a great way to show off local businesses, barns, or 4H clubs. Contact IEA Western Administrator, Todd Knerr at [email protected] for more information on how to participate as a vendor or sponsor.
Where can I find the 4H fair schedule
