As many of you already know, I will be expecting my second child this summer! My due date is August 19, so I plan to be around most of the summer including the 2009 Clearfield County Fair. Since the summer is such a busy time, I was lucky enough to obtain help from a past 4-H member. Therefore, I would like to welcome Leah Carr as the 2009 Clearfield County 4-H Summer Assistant.Leah was a member of the Graham Township 4-H Club for 11 years. Last year, she ended her 4-H career serving in the role of president of her 4-H club, as well as being named the recipient of the 2008 Lewie Greene 4-H Memorial Scholarship. Last summer, Leah was crowned the 2008 Clearfield County Fair Queen and this past January was named First Alternate in the 2009 Pennsylvania State Fair Queen Contest held in Hershey, PA. As a Fair Queen, Leah has dedicated a lot of her time to helping with the Queens for Kids charities including pancake breakfasts and the Annual Music Fund Fest to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. Leah has also had numerous speaking engagements throughout the county over the past year.
Leah was a 2008 high honors graduate of West Branch Area High School, were she finished second in her class! She is currently finishing up her freshman year at Penn State University - DuBois Campus majoring in Business with a minor in Agricultural Business. Throughout her first year of college, despite her busy schedule with classes and fair queen duties, Leah has been recognized for her hard work by receiving many awards and scholarships. Leah plans to attend Penn State University Main Campus in the spring of 2010. She is looking forward to working with our office this summer and anxious to meet many of you! Leah will be starting at her position with our office mid-May and working into October when I return from maternity leave. Please help me welcome Leah! I know she will do an excellent job this summer!
