Wake Up Tri-Counties Katie Laleman Talks Self-Defense Class, Golf Fundraiser, Driver’s Ed Program, and NNO in Colona

Katie Laleman joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about upcoming events with the Henry County Farm Bureau. The Henry County Farm Bureau is buzzing with activity this summer. Over 60 kids took part in the exciting pedal tractor pull at the Henry County fair, which was on a new day and time. Community engagement is on the rise, with fresh memberships signed and ongoing opportunities to join. Meanwhile, Cambridge High School will host a free women’s self-defense class on August 6, led by Muay Thai experts—spots are limited, with registration open until July 31st. Looking ahead, the "Share the Road" Driver’s Ed program returns in September, aiming to teach students about roadway safety around farm equipment. Meanwhile, the Summer Foundation Golf Fun Day is nearing capacity, with just a handful of team slots left. Proceeds will fund scholarships and agriculture education programs. For event details, contact the Farm Bureau office.

Excitement continues to grow around the upcoming Foundation Golf Fun Day fundraiser, as organizers report that participation numbers are set to break previous records. Only a few tee times remain, and teams are encouraged to sign up in groups of four. Entry fees are $50 for members and $80 for non-members. All proceeds benefit the Henry County Farm Bureau Foundation, supporting scholarships and the Agriculture in the Classroom program. This is the biggest annual fundraiser for the foundation, helping local high school seniors and college students. To secure a spot, call the Henry County Farm Bureau Office at 309-937-2411.
