Logan Hall is spending his Farm Show week as a Press Intern. "Going around covering different events, taking pictures, writing press releases."
The Carlisle native has walked along these crowds for years. "This building here is what made me a 4-H member. Coming as a child in stroller with my parents, I've told my parents I always wanted to show."
And he did show, and then applied for a scholarship. "I won the farm show scholarship in 2012."
To qualify for the scholarship, you have to have one year in college, fill out this 16 page process. But Hall says, it can be competitive. "It's a rigourous process. Its one of those scholarships that's an award as well. It's like an aww feeling, yanno."
For twenty years, the Farm Show has been giving away cash dollars to students who are active at the show. Applicants have to be involved in the 4-H or Future Farmers of America Societies. Hopefuls also have to have shown their animals at the show and do well in school.
Hall says the scholarship is important because he knows it will help in the future. "We know that to go to college and benefit agriculture industry as a whole, we can win that scholarship and move onto the agriculture industry and give back. With that you meet large number of invididuals that keep you building networking, communicated with working on goals you set."
Some schools, like Logan's matched the scholarship dollar for, and he plans to keep working towards his dream in agriculture education.
