The Fallon County 4-H Ambassadors were each challenged this year to come up with and lead an event or program. They would need to use the skills they were learning in the leadership project to direct their team. One event that stands out was an idea to incorporate the pledge into a fundraiser to help their clubs and community, and also their country and world. The ambassadors decided what to do for every aspect of the projects, and they included: challenging each club to submit a community service project they completed, donating to the local school and community cupboard to supply youth and adults with winter clothing, donating supplies for two veteran’s service dogs, and funding a heifer in another country. Other events that were created included a community dance during the fair and hosting small project judging.
