Last week the Christian County 4-H sent over twenty kids to the annual Illinois State Fair and the group was able to come home with several awards according to Christian County 4-H program coordinator Jodi Heberling.

Heberling explains that while over 30 kids qualified to go, not everyone was able to attend the state fair due to prior commitments.

Heberling adds that it wasn’t all fun and games at the fair this year, as several kids, including members of the Shooting Sports club, were put to work to raise money for the organization.
