Success StoryCounty Fair Breakfast



County Fair Breakfast

Author: Dee Heimgartner

Planning Unit: Crittenden County CES

Major Program: Community Vitality and Leadership - ANR

Plan of Work: Empowering Community Leaders

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The Fair breakfast has become a favorite fair event of many in the community and it shows with over 90 people in attendance for the 2023 event. This event is a joint partnership with Lion’s Club, County Extension Council and 4-H Council. The breakfast serves a profitable fundraiser for the county’s 4H Council to help with youth programming efforts throughout the year. This event has great buy in from our elected officials, local school system, business community including Chamber of Commerce. This year we had seven local elected officials, city administrator and both of our state legislators were in attendance. During the breakfast fair awards are handed out along with Lion’s Club awards. A special part of the morning is when the newest member of the Crittenden County Agriculture/ Rural Leadership Hall of Fame is recognized. The hall of fame is managed by the fair breakfast committee.
