The Greene County Fair is next week and the new leader of the Greene County 4-H program is prepared and ready to go.

Greene County Extension 4-H and Youth Coordinator Samantha Hardaway is no stranger to the county fair, having competed as a 4-H’er and as the Extension Summer Intern, but this is her first fair as the 4-H and Youth Coordinator, taking over for Kayla Willms. Hardaway shares her thoughts on getting ready for the fair.

“A lot definitely goes into the fair, that’s for sure. I feel really good about where we are at and I feel ready and prepared, and very grateful for all of the experience that I’ve had the past two summers as the assistant. I’ve used a lot of what I’ve learned there to put into action what I’m doing now. So hopefully everything runs smoothly. I’m excited to make it through my first fair (as the 4-H and Youth Coordinator).”

The Greene County Fair is July 12th-18th.
