DBHS student attends national 4-H summit
Mar. 30—Stallard was 2024 Lawrence County Fair princess Allie Stallard, a junior at Dawson-Bryant High School and dedicated 4-H member, recently traveled to Washington, D.C., as part of the Ohio delegation to the Ignite by 4-H National Summit. This prestigious event brings together high school students from across the country to explore key topics in STEM, Agriscience and Healthy Living. Stallard was the sole representative from Lawrence County and southeastern Ohio and one of just 15 students selected from the entire state. During the summit, she connected with peers from across the U.S. and Canada, attended Agriscience-focused workshops, and visited a farm to explore the farm-to-table process firsthand. She also had the opportunity to hear from notable speakers, including moderator Jenna Bush Hager and astronaut Emily Calandrelli. As part of the event, Stallard collaborated with fellow Ohio delegates to prepare and present a group project on Agriscience. A committed 4-H member for nine years, Stallard currently serves as president of the Back Road Haybalers 4-H Club. She is also an active member of the Lawrence County Junior Fair Board and Teen Leaders and was named the 2024 Lawrence County Fair Princess. Allie's experience at Ignite by 4-H not only showcased her dedication to leadership and learning, but also highlighted the opportunities available through 4-H for youth to engage in national level education and networking.

Turkey show to debut at this year's fair
Feb. 8—When the Lawrence County Fair returns in July, it will see the start of a new animal competition for 4-H and FFA members. This will be the first year for a Market Turkey competition, Rachael Fraley, extension educator for Lawrence County, said. Fraley said the exhibition of the turkeys will take place similar to the Market Chicken shows, though they will be presented with a cane, like the fair's hog shows. "This is the first time," she said of the turkey show, but noted that, in previous years, 4-H members had the option of exhibiting turkeys in the fair's Fancy Poultry competitions. Fraley said members will be able to exhibit up to two turkeys and that the sign up deadline is Feb. 15. Enrollment deadline for 4-H is March 15 for this year. This year's Lawrence County Fair will be two days shorter than previous years, though Fraley said this will not have any impact on 4-H and FFA programs and they will be hosting the same number of events. She said events such as the Skillathon and the fair queen competition, early parts of the fair, may take place on the Sunday before the fair kickoff on Monday. This year's Lawrence County Fair is set for July 7-12 at the county fairgrounds, located at 7755 County Road 107 in Rome Township.
