Fund-raising for the Youth Center at the Louisa Fairgrounds is making progress, thanks in part to a local farm family and a community outreach program. Ron and Angie Stover and Monsanto representatives presented the check for $2,500 to the Louisa County Fair Board earlier this month to be used for the youth center.

The Stover’s were Louisa County’s winning farm family in the America’s Farmers Grow Communities contest by Monsanto.
