Claire
Bobell took home the Grand Champion Barrow award for the
third Logan County Fair in a row at the 4-H Swine Show.
Bobell won in 2018 and 2019. Last year there was no
county fair; thus, three big wins across four years, but
all in succession.
Claire (holding her purple ribbon) was joined by family
members, including her sisters, helping hold all her
hardware in front of the green curtain at the show on
Wednesday. Also, in the photo, Linda Crane and her
grandson were there to present the Don Crane Memorial
Traveling Trophy for the Grand Champion Barrow.
