Dinner raises $10k for Bartholomew 4-H Fair barn

More than $10,000 was raised last night at the annual Community Dinner to support the Bartholomew County 4-H Fair.

Funds raised from the sale of street names at the fairgrounds for next year’s fair will go to build a new goat barn.

Parker Newsom was honored with the Rural Service Award. The award has been given out annually since 1954.

Bartholomew Consolidated Schools superintendent Jim Roberts was the featured speaker. He provided an overview of the school system.

The event was organized by the Bartholomew County 4-H Fair Board and the Bartholomew County Farm Bureau.
