Exhibitors Sought for Annual
Grant County Farm and Home Show
Plans are in the works to make the 72nd annual Grant County Farm and Home Show extraordinary January 10-11 at the Milbank High School and armory. This two-day event will host many vendors, in addition to crop and home exhibits.
“The Grant County 4-H program enjoys assisting with the Grant County Farm and Home Show yearly,” said Sara Koepke, Grant County 4-H youth program advisor. “We appreciate the many patrons who take time to bring exhibits to the event. This is a way to showcase the many talents within our county.”
In addition to the farm and home show, a LEGO contest will be conducted Saturday, January 11, in the Milbank High School lunchroom. All children ages four and up are invited to participate in the LEGO contest. Pre-registration is required by January 3. Contact the Grant County 4-H office for more information.
