LAGRANGE â The 2021 LaGrange County 4-H Fair wrapped up its week-long run Saturday on a high note.
The fair closed with its annual auction, but this year, like last year, that auction was a celebration of the fair and the kids who make up the local 4-H clubs, not the traditional auction of project animals that use to wrap up fairs of the past. The coronavirus pandemic changed all that.
âCOVID, the pandemic, created a lot of opportunity for change,â said Steve Engleking, the LaGrange County Purdue University Extension Service director. âIt created an opportunity for people to try new things.â
