Help Elwell kiss a pig at the Delaware State Fair

July 4, 2023

Abel Elwell, Delaware Farm Bureau's New Castle County Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee chair, wants to land a big one — a kiss on a pig.

Elwell is raising money for Delaware State Fair Junior Exhibitor Scholarships through the annual Kiss the Pig Contest coordinated by the Delaware 4-H Foundation.

The initiative celebrates fundraising efforts by participants, culminating in an exciting showcase event to be held at 3 p.m., Thursday, July 27, at Hertrich Plaza in Harrington. 

"Our YF&R chapter asked me to step up this year and do it, and I am happy to help promote agriculture by supporting the 4-H Foundation," Elwell said. "I grew up being involved in our county 4-H Dairy Club in New Jersey. Through 4-H and other mentors in our 4-H club, this inspired me to get an education in agriculture and now a career. I am happy to pass that on and help others on their path."

To donate to Elwell for the contest, venmo @DelawareYFR or email kali.voshell@defb.org.
