The Delavan Fall Festival Committee continued its tradition of supporting local students by awarding two $500 scholarships to recent Delavan High School graduates, Jayley Fisher and Kenzi Espenchied. The recipients were selected from a pool of five applicants based on their achievements, community involvement, and dedication to furthering their education.

The scholarship panel, consisting of Fall Festival President Adam White, Vice President Beth Zimmer, and committee members Rita Mont and Lori Leskovisek, carefully reviewed the applications to select the recipients.

The scholarship presentation took place at a meeting of the Fall Festival Committee on Monday, May 19, with Delavan Fall Festival Vice President Beth Zimmer presenting the award to Fisher. Espencheid, unable to attend the ceremony, was recognized for her accomplishment and will receive her scholarship separately.

The committee’s annual scholarship program highlights its commitment to fostering education and supporting the youth in the community. Fisher and Espencheid will be pursuing their studies in their respective fields, bringing the spirit of Delavan with them into the next chapter of their lives.
