For over a decade the Grundy County Farm Bureau Foundation and Grundy County Friends have joined together to host the annual Draw Down. Proceeds from the event help support youth programs such as 4-H and Agriculture in the Classroom across Grundy County. This year has been different in so many ways, but what hasn’t changed is our commitment to these programs. Agriculture in the Classroom continues to reach over 1000 students each month, the Farm Bureau Foundation was able to award $12,000 in scholarships in 2020, and children across the county are still working to become confident leaders through the work of 4-H.
In 2020 we were forced to abruptly change plans for our annual event and pivot to a virtual format. We hoped more than anything that we would be able to join together in 2021 but the safety of all our attendees is our first priority. With that being said we are happy to announce that the 2021 Draw Down will proceed as a Virtual Event.
