Fairgrounds hosts free farmer panel

Farmers and families are invited to join for an agricultural event at the fairgrounds next week.

Jay County Ag Week Committee will present “Outside the Tractor,” a panel with local producers talking about their experiences in agriculture, at 6 p.m. Thursday in the Bubp Building at Jay County Fairgrounds. The event also features a free barbecue chicken dinner, door prizes and inflatables. To reserve a spot, call Jay County Purdue Extension Office at (260) 726-4707.

Those who attend Thursday’s event and the Jay County REMC farmer supper on Sept. 11 will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Jay County Chamber of Commerce gift card.

Donation event

Pennville Volunteer Fire Department will host its annual ham and beans dinner from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6.

The all-you-can-eat dinner, which will be open for free will donations, will feature ham and beans, cornbread, desserts and drinks. 

All donations will go toward the Hoosier Burn Camp. According to its website, the organization’s programs “help burn survivors from infancy through young adulthood build self-esteem and realize their highest potential as they overcome the pain and trauma associated (with) severe burn injury.” The programs come at no cost to campers or their families. 

To become a donor or learn more information, visit hoosierburncamp.org.
