Junior Fairboard Leadership Excels during Family Fun Night

Author: Shannon Farrell

Planning Unit: Harrison County CES

Major Program: Leadership

Plan of Work: Community Engagement and Economic Development

Outcome: Initial Outcome

With summer activities opening after a long period of closures, came much enthusiasm for involvement and revamping of events.  The collaboration between the Harrison County Fairboard, FFA, 4-H, and newly developed Jr. Fairboard were no exception.  Together, 20 middle and high school teens worked diligently to fulfill the roles and responsibilities that were given to them to lead group rotations, man stations, and tally results in the county fair’s competitive Family Fun Night.  The event brought in a whooping 116 participants of all ages and drew in a couple hundred of crowd supporters.  Events included money in the hay stack, relay races, giant slingshot, water balloon toss, mechanical bull, and was coordinated simultaneously with Farm Bureau’s tractor pedal pull.  Photographer Shonda Judy commented that of her 26 years at the fair, this event was by far the best Family Fun Night.
