NORWALK, Ohio — A boy from Huron County used his livestock premiums from the Huron County Fair in a very generous way, donating them all to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, according to Western Reserve Schools.
Diesel Pippert, a seventh-grader at Western Reserve Schools in Collins, donated all of his livestock premiums from the fair’s large animal sale to the children’s hospital that helps fight cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
