The Portage County Randolph Fair is proud to support Portage County 4-H youth and the amazing opportunities they pursue.

At the latest Fairboard meeting, Jenna Canale shared highlights from her recent 4-H Global Immersion Trip to Greece!

Jenna, a member of the Edinburg Seambusters 4-H Club and Portage Prime Producers 4-H Club, was selected by Ohio 4-H to represent our state in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Through this trip, she embraced new learning opportunities and explored the rich history of Greece through Ohio 4-H. We are inspired by Jenna's dedication to learning and her eagerness to experience new cultures. Her trip reminds us of the incredible opportunities 4-H provides for personal growth.

Congratulations to Jenna and we look forward to seeing how her experiences will shape her future endeavors!
