Nate and Nic Raber
Twin brothers, Nate and Nic
Raber’s interest in 4-H was sparked by
the involvement and interest in 4-H of
their older brother, Joseph.
Nic’s interest in animals and liking

part in joining 4-H. Nate and Nic followed in their brother’s footsteps. The
Raber family has enjoyed an eight-year

fourth grade. They agreed that hanging out with friends during the week
of the fair, playing video games in the

memories that they’ll take away from
their ten years of involvement in 4-H.
Nate and Nic both plan to attend
Indiana Wesleyan University next year.
Nate will be majoring in education and
Nic will be seeking a medical degree.
