McClure leads dog show

Aubree McClure came home and enjoyed every minute of it.

McClure, who showed at the Randolph County Fair in 2023, returned to the Jay County Fair this year and showed the top dog — Indiana Jones, nicknamed Jonesy — at the 4-H dog show on July 6.

She claimed the top dog honor following last year’s winner Katie Haffner, a five-time winner during her 4-H career.

McClure and Jonesy also took the championship for agility in intermediate Class A. She was also the reserve champion senior showman and had the reserve champion for obedience in Class 2B.

Alex Jones showed the reserve champion top dog, with Alexis Tipton winning the senior showmanship title and advancing to compete in the small animal supreme showmanship competition.
