The 2017 4-H Reunion will take place Sunday, July 23 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Story County Fair.

By 1970, there were 39 clubs and 704 members, also according to the Iowa 4-H Foundation website.

All of the former 4-H’ers that served during those years will be listed in the printed programs which will be available to all attendees.

4-H Hall of Fame honorees, the 4-H Alum of the Year and 4-H’er Justine Rosburg will be introduced during the program.

Scholarship and grant recipients will be introduced by the Story County 4-H Foundation.

Donors will also be recognized for their generosity.
