ASHLEY GRAFF:
Hello! My name is Ashley Graff and I am from Clarke County. I was a member of the Osceola Go-Getters 4-H club. Some of my greatest memories have been at the Iowa State Fair, which I will never forget. My family and I own and operate “Graff Show Lambs” and I show club lambs throughout Iowa and other national events. I will be a senior at Iowa State University, majoring in Business Management with a minor in Marketing. If you are interested in the Ford Truck Raffle or have any questions, please contact me at agraff@extension.iastate.edu. Have a great summer and hope to see you while I’m traveling in the Ford Truck throughout Iowa!


ALICEA MURRA:
Hi to all! My name is Alicea Murra and currently a junior at Iowa State University majoring in Advertising and Design. Originally from Kossuth County, I was a member of the Buffalo Center Grant Gleaners 4-H Club. While in 4-H, I enjoyed art projects, working exhibit presentations and attending the Iowa State Fair. I am so excited to travel through Iowa this summer with the Ford Truck. Since I have never been south of Des Moines, it will be fun to see parts of Iowa I have never seen before. If you are interested in becoming involved with the raffle or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at amurra@extension.iastate.edu. I look forward to seeing you at your fair!
