Starke County Junior Leaders Host Food Drive at 4-H Fair

  
 
Grab a couple cans of food before you head to the Starke County 4-H Fair this week. Elizabeth Smith with Purdue Extension Starke County says the Junior Leaders are teaming up with the fair board to host a canned food drive. Donations can be dropped off at the fair office, which is across from the dairy barn in the middle of the fairgrounds. All donations will be given to the Community Services of Starke County Food Pantry, and the first 250 people who bring items will get a free ticket to next month’s Indiana State Fair. Smith says that’s a new program the state fair is offering this year. Junior leaders are 4-H members in grades 7 through 12 who work on a variety of community outreach initiatives in addition to their regular 4-H projects.
