  • Emily Bergsieker, University of Missouri Extension 4-H field specialist for Ray and Lafayette counties, discusses the Ray County Fair, scheduled for July 11-17 at the Ray County Fairgrounds in Richmond.
  • Dantin McBee, a member of the Millville 4-H Club and a student at Elkhorn Elementary School, discusses his involvement in 4-H and his plans for the fair.
  • Volunteer Marjorie Jenkins reflects and comments on her service in 4-H and with the Ray County Fair. Jenkins, who's featured in the Richmond News' Ray County Fair supplement, also comments on receiving the Frank Graham 4-H Volunteer Leadership Award.
  • Farmer and tire/body shop owner Charles Calvert reflects on his service as a Ray County Fair volunteer and comments on his family being named the Ray County Farm Family of the Year. He also shares his insights about the demolition derby, a staple of the fair that's not part of this year's fair because of COVID-19 concerns. 
  • Host Shawn Roney provides some Richmond-related updates since the June podcast, "All (or Mostly) About Richmond."

Notes: 

  • Dantin McBee was interviewed before Bergsieker. For purposes of structure, their order has been reversed here.
