Lamb scholarship available

0

DARKE COUNTY – The Darke County Jr. Fair Sheep committee will once again sponsor a scholarship fund at the 2015 Jr. Fair Lamb Sale at the Great Darke County Fair.

Scholarships are given to Jr. Fair members who have completed market lamb or breeding sheep projects through 4-H or FFA in Darke County in at least three of the last four years.

This scholarship is to recognize Jr. Fair Members that are completing their years of showing lambs through 4-H or FFA and who have been involved with the sheep industry.

The Darke County Jr. Fair Sheep exhibitors have been very fortunate over the past years to have strong supporters of the Lamb Scholarship. The scholarship fund is built from financial pledges received from donors as well as the donation of proceeds from the sale of a lamb. Bidding pledges will be taken at the Jr. Fair Lamb Sale on Tuesday night, August 25th at 6:00 pm.

The 2014 Jr. Fair Lamb Scholarship recipients and the college or university they are attending are as follows: Emily Walters, The Ohio State University, Main campus; Taylor Bergman, Wilmington College; Catherine Fischer, University of Findlay; Joe Schmitz, The Ohio State University, ATI; Chase Powell, Liberty University; and Emily Beanblossom, Ohio State University.
