Lorain County 4-H Band Founded in 1954 Fills Need
The Lorain County 4-H Band, organized in 1954 to lead the Junior Fair Parade and music at the Lorain County Fair, was the fourth county 4-H band in Ohio. It started with 35 players, three majorettes, a head majorette and a flag bearer. Now the group draws members from across Lorain County, funds activities via an ice cream social, and fields majorettes led by Laura Baksa. The band performs at fairs and festivals and travels to Columbus for the Ohio State Fair music program, with organizational meetings planned for March 1965 at West Carlisle School.
