Dream Big. Work Hard. Show Proud. LaPorte County 4-H Alumni Reflection
Share your experiences and insights from your time as a LaPorte County 4-H participant.
Project Overview
As part of the Dream Big, Work Hard, Show Proud initiative, select LaPorte County 4-H alumni will be featured through a multi-platform presentation celebrating the impact of 4-H beyond the fairgrounds. Participant stories will be shared across LaPorte County Fair social media channels and displayed on TV screens in the Show Arena, with possible rotation in the Community Building, allowing fairgoers to engage with these success stories throughout the week. Each participant will be asked to complete a short form and provide a headshot photo for use in graphics and on-screen displays. If available, participants may also submit a brief voice recording of their one-sentence response, which may be used for announcements during the fair to further highlight their story and encourage current 4-Hers.This project is designed to honor past 4-H experiences while inspiring current members to dream big, work hard, and show proud—today and into the future.
