A volunteer for 10 years, Mitch is currently president of 4-H Council and ex officio member of the Extension Board. He has helped with 4-H Council’s food booth and chicken dinner fundraisers at the Lancaster County Super Fair. Mitch also helps with the Pick-a-Pig 4-H club and 4-H Swine Show at Super Fair. The past two years, he helped at Teen Council’s overnight Lock-In for 4th & 5th graders.

“I like being a 4-H volunteer because I spend time with my kids on projects and their club activities,” Mitch says. “I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with all the kids in the club. My favorite experience as a 4-H volunteer is watching kids show hogs at the fair who, a year before, had probably never seen a hog outside of a picture.”
