Crawfordsville news: Last go-round at the county fair

Grace Hiller, daughter of Don and Ruchel Hiller and a 2020 graduate of WACO High competed for the last time at the Washington County Fair. She was a member of the Washington County 4-H program for 13 years. First as a Crawfordsville Clover Kid, starting in Kindergarten. In fourth grade she joined the Crook Creek Club. Grace has also been a helper with Clover Cookers Cooking Club.

She has exhibited projects in Photography, Garden, Visual Arts, Self-Determined, Surprise Design, $15 Challenge, Pride of Iowa, Goats, Sheep, Rabbits, Poultry and Share the Fun. She has had two projects selected to go to the Iowa State Fair, won Pride of Iowa two years in a row, was selected to participate in the Intermediate Clothing Event in the $15 Challenge and won numerous trophies with her rabbits and poultry. Grace has enjoyed helping future 4-Hers by being a Clover Kid Mentor in goat and rabbit.

Grace says '4-H has taught me many things. Time management is one of them. Also how to be a gracious competitor. If I hadn't been a part of the 4-H program I wouldn't of made some friends I have today.”

As for her final year and the Fair she says she is thankful for all who were involved with making this year's fair happen. It definitely wasn't a normal year, but she is glad she still had the opportunity to participate in this her last year.
