Growing up, Sundays were the day for Bizy Beavers 4-H club meetings, and every summer was prep season for the Saline County and Missouri State fairs, said Kaleigh Summers, alumni relations and event coordinator for the University of Missouri College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources.
As a third-generation 4-H’er from a Century Farm family, Kaleigh grew up surrounded by relatives and mentors who helped her forge a deep connection to Missouri agriculture and rural communities.
Now she brings that know-how to MU’s presence at this year’s Missouri State Fair, Aug. 10-20 in Sedalia. As building and event coordinator for Mizzou Central, Kaleigh is helping to lead Mizzou’s effort to show the many ways it serves Missourians across the state.
