Thank You!
Thank you, volunteers! All of you, members of all ages, leaders, and parents, for showing up to support the food stand. We understand that working at the 4-H Food Stand may not be everybody's favorite part of fair, but this fundraiser helps raise the money the Wayne County 4-H Program needs to operate while helping members build life skills such as responsibility, team work, and interacting with customers. Working your food stand shift helps provide senior scholarships, partial scholarships for camps or workshops, national event sponsorships, awards, and our program as a whole. We are all in this together!
