Volunteers--thanks for all your help during Bond County Fair
Thank you to everyone for volunteering your time and energy to staff the 4-H Building during the Bond County Fair; with the Original Pork Stand—cooking, bagging food, and/or serving our customers; serving as announcer for the Horse Show (Linda Hinch); and for serving as Superintendents for our judging shows.
Thanks also goes to 4-H clubs and leaders for putting up displays in the 4-H Building. The building was a popular place for kids to hang out, play games, and get their faces painted (Thanks Casey Thiems for painting so many kids' faces)! Liberty 4-H won best display.
