RICHMOND, Ky. — A group of talented students from Eastern Kentucky University have been given the opportunity to compete in the North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge in California come late March. Last year, this group attended the Southern Regional Dairy Challenge and even brought home awards. While the hotel and meals are covered by sponsors during the competition, flights, luggage fees, registration fees, and a rental car will not be; we are working with EKU’s Agriculture Department to help offset some of these expenses. A Go Fund Me page has also been set up for contributions. We greatly appreciate your help with donations and shares.
