Five years ago, Kent started helping with his daughter's various horse clubs. He is in his fourth year on 4-H Council and has a crucial role on the food booth committee. The 4-H food booth at the Lancaster County Super Fair is Council's primary fundraiser. Kent is currently treasurer of 4-H Council.
"I like being a 4-H volunteer because it allows me to be involved in activities with my kids," says Kent. "I have had the pleasure meeting and working with so many parents who want to promote the 4-H values to their children and community. 4-H is a wonderful program that greatly benefits our community and state. The 4-H food booth is lots of hard work, but a thoroughly enjoyable time with Extension staff, adult volunteers, and 4-H kids. Making thousands of bags of cotton candy has a way of bring people together. It is a sweet way to give back to the community."
