☀️ Please help us welcome our Purdue Extension Hancock County Summer Interns, Kynsey Hasty and Addison Buckley! ☀️

While they may already be familiar faces around Hancock County 4-H and the fairgrounds, we are excited to officially have them serving as our summer interns this year! Throughout the next few months, they will be helping with youth programs, community events, 4-H activities, and fair preparation.🍀

If you see Kynsey or Addison out at programs, workshops, and around the fairgrounds this summer, be sure to say hello and give them a warm Hancock County welcome! We are looking forward to a fun and impactful summer with these two. 💛🖤

What a wonderful day at the Indiana 4-H Foundation Annual Meeting! 💚🍀

There is something special about being in a room filled with people who truly see the value and impact of 4-H. We are so proud of our Hancock County 4-H YES Grant recipients and scholarship honorees for representing our county so well and making a difference in their communities.

Thank you to the Indiana 4-H Foundation donors and supporters who make these opportunities possible for youth across Indiana, and a special thank you to Tuttle Orchards for hosting and sharing the positive impact 4-H has had on your family business and generations of youth. 👏🍎
