This summer has been one to remember and I'm sad that my time as McHenry County Farm Bureau Intern is over. This has been such an amazing opportunity and I have learned so much more than I ever knew I could about the world of agriculture and more specifically McHenry County agriculture.
I don't know if my dad ever bought a hat, but he sure had a lot them. My dad was a farmer and by default a hat collector. Many of you know someone who is passionate about their hats. Their hats need to be the right color, the right style and the perfect fit. The hat becomes one with them and without it they become unrecognizable to their friends and family.

Club Town replaced the metal siding on four ends of the livestock buildings that are located within the McHenry County Fairgrounds. The project was taken on to brighten up the appearance of the grounds and bring uniformity to the buildings. Bob Ziller, John Henning, John R. Henning, Joe Henning, and Jesse Henning volunteered their time and talent to the project. Fair staff and Beetstra Electric provided additional assistance to the project and Club Town purchased the material.
