Since late in the Nineteen-forties, Roger has been involved in Clinton County Fair activities. As a young boy, he joined the Union Livewires 4-H Club with a cattle project, and then became a leader of the club with Marvin Peterson. In 1993 he was recognized in Columbus for 35 years of 4-H Volunteer Leadership.

For many years in the spring and summer activities of the Bennett Family revolved around 4-H projects for the Clinton County and Ohio State Fairs. Wife, Sue Anne was a leader for a cooking club; daughter, Teri was in the cooking club and showed sheep. Roger conducted 4-H Livestock Auctions with Darbyshire and Associates for thirty-three years, and the auction fee from the Clinton County Fair was always donated back to 4-H.

For many years Roger was secretary/treasurer of the Clinton County Implement Dealers. This organization sponsored activities at the Clinton County Fair such as entertainment ad tractor pulls, and near the end of each summer held a farm machinery auction at the fair grounds. This traditional sale continues today.

Roger was on the Ohio 4-H Foundation Board at Ohio State University for two terms and is presently a member of the Clinton County 4-H Endowment Fund.

At the present time, he sells real estate, auctions and farms. Roger is in many organization and holds positions on the county and state levels. The children left Ohio for their college education and now live in Dallas and San Francisco, therefore he has great places to visit. Roger is a familiar face at the fairgrounds activities. He is proud of the past, present, and furutre of Clinton County and honored to be recognized.
