New Fair Manager to be Announced at Legacy Dinner Event
For the first time in 20 plus years, the Fairfield County Fair will have a new manager beginning next year.

Now, the search is over and the Directors will announce Continue reading

The Fairfield County 4-H Youth Development program strives to teach leadership, citizenship and life skills to approximately 1,500 4-H club members each year. While most of these young people participate in the traditional 4-H club experiences, an additional 1,000 youth are exposed to 4-H work through school enrichment programs.
