Hardin County farmer Levern Weaver recently directed a $2,500 America’s Farmers Grow Communities donation, sponsored by Bayer Fund, to Hardin County 4-H.
The 4-H Program will use the funds to conduct a new Agricultural Science program with Cloverbud members. This program will provide hands-on learning to 4-Hers who are in Kindergarten through 2nd grade.
Youth will explore soil science, water quality, careers in the agriculture industry, and more. The program will take place in April – September of 2021.
Note: Halloween is this week. Now is a good time to take a look back at one of the town's oldest ghost stories. Leland Crouse alerted the Icon about it, which was originally posted in Betty Miller's Small Town Sampler on Oct. 24, 1990.
Sitting in a group of friends one of the ladies brought up a story about seeing a ghost at her downtown apartment. I had to hear the whole story and went to visit my friend.
