A Norris FFA Advisor for 32 years (retiring this spring), Doug has contributed greatly to 4-H/FFA at the Lancaster County Super Fair. He has announced the beef show for many years, helped get trophy sponsors and volunteered at horse shows when his daughter was in 4-H. He advocated to the Lancaster County Commissioners for the Lancaster Event Center to be built. He also helps train youth on livestock and horse judging teams.
“I enjoy watching kids light up when they accomplish new skills or things they never thought they could do,” says Doug. “My favorite experiences as a 4-H volunteer was serving the exhibitor breakfast at the county fair as part of a joint effort with our Men’s Church group and local cooperative. We served thousands of pancakes and had a great time in the tent.”
