Greene County was well represented at the Tennessee State Fair. 4-H’ers from all over the county were able to join us for the Tennessee 4-H Picnic at the Fair. This event supports scholarships for 4-H camps all over the state. These students also got to hear from Governor Bill Lee and other stake holders about the great impact 4-H had on their lives. We are thankful to the Greene County Farm Bureau for providing a sponsorship to allow this great opportunity!
