A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to the 4-H’ers, families, Ellis County Fair Association and all that volunteered to make the 2024 Ellis County Fair a big success.  Each member can be proud of the things you’ve accomplished this year. Hats off to everyone who stepped in and volunteered . . . in the Schenk Building, the 4-H Foodstand, in the barns, at the events, during the shows . . . your help was greatly appreciated and it helped to make everything run smoothly. We all know that many hours were given. It is amazing to see how everyone comes together when something doesn’t go as planned also.  If an animal gets lose, people come out of nowhere to help the animal get where it is supposed to be. The 4-H clubs come together whether it is to make sure the food stand is staffed; trash is dumped, or manure is removed. Members and parents spend hours cleaning before and after the fair to make sure the fairgrounds look good.  Even when the jobs get dirty, at the end of the day the kids learn that the work has to be done. Thanks everyone for ALL of your efforts to make the Ellis County Fair a special event!
