More than 2,000 second-graders and their teachers visited 12 educational displays including agricultural products and live animals on March 19-21 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville. Districts that participated were Carmel Clay, Hamilton Heights, Hamilton Southeastern, Noblesville and Westfield Washington. Displays included information on corn, soybeans, wheat, soil and water conservation, and more. Animal production and animal by-products were explained with the use of beef, dairy, goats, horses, llamas, poultry, rabbits, sheep and swine. More than 100 volunteers, mostly current 4-H’ers, made the presentations to students and got them involved in hands-on activities. (Photos by Robert Herrington)
