(Talk of the Town photo by Annette Lamle) Cody Lamle, left, and Jarin Myer, right, were named 2009 Whitley County Pork Ambassador and Whitley County Pork Queen during the recent swine evaluation show hosted by the Whitley County Pork Producers.
Lamle, the 18-year-old son of Tim and Annette Lamle of Union Township, is a 10-year 4-H member who will be a freshman at Lakeland Junior College this fall. In addition to swine, his other 4-H projects include Junior Leaders, crops, beef, preserved foods and microwave cooking.
Myer is the 17-year-old daughter of Scott and Leah Myer of Thorncreek Township. A junior at Columbia City High School, Jarin has been very successful with the gift wrapping and foods projects, in addition to swine.
Lamle and Myer are representing Whitley County's pork industry at the Whitley County 4-H Fair as well as various other events throughout the year.
