The 4-H activities at county
fair require many hours of
planning and preparation,
plus many more hours spent
at the time of the fair assisting
with all events.
Volunteer 4-H leaders also
serve as superintendents in
the many 411 departments.
Leaders serve because they
are interested in youth devel
opment, and do so with little or
no thought of recognition or
reward. At Morrow County
Fair this year 4-H leaders will
be busy keeping things hum
ming along smoothly for 4-H
members and for the public.
