If more than one person sends in a letter for a position we will take it to a vote the night of the first meeting.

Cullman County Day of Champions
The Cullman County Day of Champions (formerly Special Olympics) will be on Thursday September 17th at Wallace State. The event organizers are looking for older youth volunteers to be participant buddies to assist them in getting to their events and being their personal cheering section and friend. I would like any interested senior level 4-H’er to contact me a.s.a.p. to sign up to help at the event. This is a very fun day for these guys and I would love to have a large 4-H group help out.

Fair week is September 21-26 and is for Cullman and surrounding counties. There is a 4-H horse show, dog show, and livestock shows. There are also youth events in the handicrafts, art, and foods areas. If you did a 4-H project in these areas last year I encourage you to enter it at the fair.
