There are plenty of fun activities planned for this summer in the Defiance County 4-H program. Enrollment was recently completed, with 550 participating this year, a number similar to previous years.
A final decision will be made in Mid-May regarding summer camp for Defiance County 4-H ers; but the options are a typical overnight camp at Camp Palmer, or a day camp at the Defiance County fairgrounds. The junior fairboard is hosting a craft show fundraiser at the fairgrounds in Hicksville on June 27th.There will be a horse show on the fairgrounds at the same time, with food available. All proceeds will go toward installing gutters for the Junior Fairboard Office at the Defiance County Fairgrounds, and for the purchase of sanitation supplies for this year’s junior fair activities in August.
Drive the streets of Defiance this time of year, and youâll find a number of impressive Christmas light displays.
If there were a contest for the best, many worthy entries would be available. But several displays within the townâs boundaries seem to jump out at those passing by.
Perhaps the most energetic residential display is at the home of Loretta and Dave Schroeder, at the corner of Emblanche and Terrawenda drives on the south part of Defiance (due west of South Clinton Street).
There, passersby are treated to some traditional lighting, but also an ever-changing light display on a large simulated Christmas tree, as well as the small ranch homeâs roof and wall lines. Perhaps, the most compelling part of the display is the synchronized music which is timed with the lights.
