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.
Hello everyone! My name is Amy Kruse and I am proud to be the 2015 intern for the McHenry County Farm Bureau. I am very excited to work with everyone and learn more about the Farm Bureau as well as McHenry County agriculture.
Fast fix-its keep the farm going
By Joanie Stiers
Our 7-year-old son emerged from his room wearing a "farm play" shirt in preparation for school. I advised that this old Chicago Bears jersey had lost eligibility in the "good" category of clothing when one of its loose-fitting sleeves completely split from elbow to armpit.
I would like to start off by saying that I am thrilled to be a member of the Farm Bureau staff. As the Ag in the Classroom coordinator, I am excited to share my passion for agriculture with others in our community. For the past five years, I was a Spanish teacher at Marian Central Catholic High School in Woodstock, Illinois and I loved my job but I decided to stay home with my family this year and help out more on our family farm. My husband David and I have two young boys, Clark (4) and Jack (19 months).
