The Germano Community

4-H Club received special recognition this year at the Harrison County Fair for serving for 100 years.

Albert “Doug” Caldwell and his father Ronald are currently the advisors for the group. Caldwell states the family has been involved in the club for many years dating back to when his grandfather, Wayne, became a member and then an advisor in 1945.

He also stated that he and his brother have brought steers and pigs to the fair. Even an aunt, Donna Gamron, took a dairy project and sewing project.

The group sells dairy baskets at the fair for those with dairy projects as those animals are not sold. This will make 17 years of selling the baskets. Each basket contains a wheel of cheese, as well as items donated by each member. Some items donated include a barnhouse painting, milk stools and even a butter churn. Caldwell is hoping the younger family members will remain involved and that the club will continue to grow.
