Many local 4-H members are busy preparing animal projects for this year's Mercer County Fair Aug. 12-18. Carter Hellwarth, a fifth-grader at Immaculate Conception School in Celina, gives his Brown Bovan chicks some feed Monday afternoon after school. A total of 920 youths are enrolled in various Mercer County 4-H clubs this year, said Jill Ellis with the Mercer County OSU Extension office.
