It is a busy time of year for professor Aimee Tomasek M.F.A., associate professor with Valparaiso University’s Communications and Visual Arts department. With fair season underway, Professor Tomasek can be found crisscrossing country roads, making her way to the Porter County fair as she embarks on their 15th year working with 4-H Club members and chronicling the Indiana agricultural scene.
