What can a portrait tell us about life at the county fair? Join photographer Aimee Tomasek at Pines Village Retirement Communities as she shares the stories and experiences behind her portraits of Porter County 4-H members, featured in I Won a Blue Ribbon at the County Fair: 4-H Portraits by Aimee Tomasek inside the Robert Cain Gallery at PoCo Muse.

Drawing on her own ten years in 4-H and her experiences as a Porter County Fair volunteer, Tomasek captures the pride, determination, friendships, and bittersweet moments that shape fair week. Her photographs explore a community where young people compete, support one another, and pass their knowledge to the next generation.
