All 4-H volunteers will be recognized once the Achievement Award program is over. Fulton County 4-H appreciates the dedicated service of club leaders, 4-H show judges and superintendents, and all who volunteers their time on committees, grilling meat during the Fulton County Fair, and serving delicious food to fair-goers. The event will conclude with an ice cream social for all 4-H members, families, leaders, and volunteers.
