OSU Extension 4‑H members visit commissioners to preview county fair projects and auction

Lisa Manning of OSU Extension introduced a delegation of 4‑H youth who visited the Lake County commissioners to preview projects and the upcoming county fair. "I'm Lisa Manning, and I oversee the 4 h youth development program from OSU Extension," she said, thanking the commissioners for their support. Multiple youth introduced themselves and named the animals they will bring to the fair; examples included Michael Decola (steer named Jonah) and Emma Taylor (market steer Snowball and two market pigs, Kit Kat and Andy).

Presenters described auction logistics (payment methods accepted: MasterCard, Visa, American Express, checks and cash) and show schedules. Youth also noted opportunities to donate animals to charities and that vending/processing options allow buyers to receive packaged meat. The Chair thanked the delegation, congratulated youth for leadership and showmanship, and reminded the public of the fair's small‑animal and large‑animal auction times. The youth were excused after the introductions.
