A local 4-H Foundation needs volunteers to help run a food booth at the Farm Progress Show.
Doug Harlan, U of I Extension County Director for DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties, indicates the Macon County 4-H Foundation has a food booth at the Farm Progress Show and it takes around 90 volunteers to run.
Harlan says the money raised from the booth funds projects in all three counties. He notes the Macon County Foundation donated $19,000 for the bathroom project at the DeWitt Fairgrounds. Funding for scholarships and program grants also come from the Farm Progress Show.
Harlan says groups that volunteer will receive a portion of the profits for working the booth. He contends the Farm Progress Show is something you don't want to miss out on.
To volunteer contact your local Extention office at (217) 935-5764.
