Chris has been an avid 4-H supporter in Lee County throughout her life. In 2002, Chris and her husband, Ed, started the Maytown Comets 4-H Club. In the 18 years Chris served as a leader, she guided her 4-H members to do the best they can and learn new project and leadership skills.
Her role modeling led her five children and many nieces and nephews to be active 4-H members. Chris also has volunteered her time during the fair as a superintendent/committee member in the poultry and cat departments. Chris’s dedication to the 4-H program has not gone unnoticed and has left a mark on many 4-H families’ lives. Chris says that she couldn't have done it without all of the help from all of the co-leaders over the years, especially Lynda Blaine and Ed Klein.
