"Well, we started with the kids here at this fair in 1968 and we've been involved in it ever since," says New Paris resident, Dean Morehouse.
Four generations... starting with Dean Morehouse. Morehouse has been coming to the Elkhart county fair for 46 years and this year, has great grand kids preparing to be in 4H.
"I was a 10 year 4Her myself," Morehouse said.
While his great grand kids, including 8-year-old Wyatt, aren't old enough for 4H yet... That didn't stop them from showing pigs in the open competition Thursday.
"I showed a spot gilt and I got champion with him," says Wyatt Habb.
Wyatt Haab wants to be a ten year member like his mom, grandpa and great grandpa.
There are 5 generations of farmers in his family and he wants to continue the tradition.
"I want to work with my dad at Fred Beard's, that's where he works at and he has dairy cattle there and I go there and help him."
Wyatt and his cousins grew up on farms just like their parents.
Wyatt dreams of showing cows at the fair someday, but at the end of the day, his mom Amber says 4-H is about way more than ribbons and awards.
"Overall I think it helped us grow as individuals and gave us good work ethic," says Amber Habb.
"Because of all the possibilities and things we can do in today's agriculture, there's so many things of responsibility for children and help make young people better adults for tomorrow," said Matt Morehouse, Wyatt's grandfather.
