Daviess County 4-H Show attendees will see a new exhibit building soon thanks to a $500,000 donation to the Daviess County 4-H Association from Grain Processing Corporation (GPC).
Officials with GPC say partnering with 4-H is a natural connection, with each having roots in agriculture and science.
The donation will help replace the Daviess County Exhibit building. In addition to weekly 4-H events for clubs, members, and volunteers, the current building hosts more than 18 community events each year, including community youth events and local blood drives.
Several improvements have been made to the Daviess County 4-H grounds over the past two years, including an update to the show arena, the addition of a food court, and new poultry livestock barns.
Tara Brower, who is on the 4H Board of Directors, says GPC’s generous donation will greatly increase the size of the building and bring modern amenities to host a multitude of 4-H and community events.
Demolition on the existing 4-H building is set for August 2023, with construction on a new building starting shortly after.
