Matthew exhibits swine at the Winona County Fair and his favorite 4-H memories are state fair trips to the MN State Fair to show his 4-H swine project. He enjoys the 4-H Swine project as he gets to spend time with his cousins while also working with his livestock. In addition to exhibiting at the Winona County Fair, Matthew is an active member of his 4-H Club helping with Ditch Clean-up, caroling at the Nursing Home, helping shop for donations for the Hometown Resource Center.

Matthew shared “4-H has taught me how to connect with younger kids and how to be a leader”.
