Stallard was 2024  Lawrence County Fair princess

Allie Stallard, a junior at Dawson-Bryant High School and dedicated 4-H member, recently traveled to Washington, D.C., as part of the Ohio delegation to the Ignite by 4-H National Summit. 

This prestigious event brings together high school students from across the country to explore key topics in STEM, Agriscience and Healthy Living.

Stallard was the sole representative from Lawrence County and southeastern Ohio and one of just 15 students selected from the entire state. 

During the summit, she connected with peers from across the U.S. and Canada, attended Agriscience-focused workshops, and visited a farm to explore the farm-to-table process firsthand. 

She also had the opportunity to hear from notable speakers, including moderator Jenna Bush Hager and astronaut Emily Calandrelli. As part of the event, Stallard collaborated with fellow Ohio delegates to prepare and present a group project on Agriscience.

A committed 4-H member for nine years, Stallard currently serves as president of the Back Road Haybalers 4-H Club. She is also an active member of the Lawrence County Junior Fair Board and Teen Leaders and was named the 2024 Lawrence County Fair Princess.

Allie’s experience at Ignite by 4-H not only showcased her dedication to leadership and learning, but also highlighted the opportunities available through 4-H for youth to engage in national level education and networking.
