Save the date: Tolland County 4-H Fairboard Meetings are the second Wednesday of every month at 6:45 pm (held at the Tolland County Extension Center), except for July when there are two meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays.
We ask that clubs do not schedule their meetings on the second Wednesday of the month to allow for 4-H members and volunteer to join Fairboard. If your club does not have a member on Fairboard please consider sending someone from your club to attend Fairboard meetings and report back to your club.
