We at the Extension Office are beyond proud of all our 4-H members that have put in their time and dedication to their different competitions and represented the Fannin County 4-H Program so well at the District IV Spring Roundup. We also greatly appreciate our great Volunteers and Project Leaders for working with the youth, teaching them and coaching them through their competitions. None of this would be possible without these phenomenal leaders: Tonia Arris, Michele Aukes, Dwanda Bradley, and Duaine Kincade.
