Leiter, a Burket Elementary first-grader, attended the Taste of Agriculture event at the Kosciusko County Fairgrounds, saying “yuck” to the suggestion she plant green beans. Master Gardeners sponsored a booth allowing patrons to plant a variety of herbs and vegetable seeds. More than $500 in door prizes were awarded. 25 Years Ago Ever felt like you just couldn’t get away from work? REMC employee Gary Himes does.
