April 16, 2025 – El Paso County proudly recognizes former El Paso County Fair youth participant and FFA member Trevor Hendrix for his continued achievements in agriculture and education.

\u201cTrevor Hendrix is a shining example of the kind of youth who compete at the El Paso County Fair,\u201d said El Paso County Parks & Community Services Executive Director Todd Marts. \u201cHe embodies the spirit of volunteerism, work ethic, perseverance, and commitment that our Fair strives to cultivate. It\u2019s inspiring to see those values continue to shape his journey beyond the Fair and into a future rooted in agriculture and service.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Calhan native, Trevor exemplifies the values fostered through El Paso County\u2019s youth programs. While participating in the El Paso County Fair and FFA activities, he stood out as a considerate, responsible, and hard-working young leader with a servant\u2019s heart. His strong interpersonal skills and dedication to helping others made a lasting impact on fellow students, alums, and community members.<\/p>\n
In 2023, the El Paso County Fair 4-H\/FFA Youth Award recognized his leadership and contributions. Since then, he has continued to pursue excellence in and out of the classroom. Now studying Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering at Oklahoma State University, Trevor\u2019s commitment to agriculture and academic success is earning national recognition.<\/p>\n
