The Shelby County Jr. 4-H Association is ecstatic Thursday morning after receiving a check from their participation in the CoBanks Sharing Success Program.  Fair Board officials received a check for $20,000 from representatives of both Shelby Electric Coop and CoBank. Don Telgmann, 4-H board president, says that the money will be used for a project for new restroom facilities for the 4-H Center. 

Aaron Johnson, Vice President of CoBank says that he has enjoyed watching this program grow throughout the years.

Josh Shallenberger, Shelby Electric Coop President, and CEO praised the CoBank program which has helped match dollar for dollar towards community projects.

Since the beginning of CoBank’s Sharing Success program, the coop has received matching dollars for donations to the Shelbyville Fire Department, the Roxy Theater, Shelby County Veteran’s Fund, Shelby County CEO’s program, Taylorville Development Association, Shelby County Dive Team, Meridian Ag Foundation, Pana Sacred Heart School, the Village of Strasburg Park and much more.
