Kick off your Saturday with a little sugar and a whole lot of heart at the Cookie Jar Auction, where homemade treats help fund the Fulton County Fair Scholarship Program—which awarded over $7,000 to local seniors this year!
Then hang around for the Junior Livestock Sale, featuring a full barnyard lineup: cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, rabbits, and even 4-H poultry chain pullets. It’s not your average Saturday—unless your Saturdays usually involve bidding on bunnies and cheering for future farmers.
Local businesses and supporters are encouraged to come out and show some love. Can’t make it? No problem—donations and premium add-ons are welcome and will be split among all the hardworking youth exhibitors.
For details, contact the Fulton County Fair Office at 870-895-5565 or reach out to a member of the Junior Livestock Committee. Let’s rally behind these kids and make some noise for their hard-earned efforts—cookies optional, but highly recommended.
Local businesses and individuals are encouraged to attend and support the Fulton County Junior Livestock Program. If you can’t make it, donations and premium add-ons are welcomed and will be shared among all exhibitors who participate in the livestock show.
Let’s show these young exhibitors how much their hard work means to our community!
Karin Huffman is an Independence County native who graduated from Cushman High School in 1996. Traveling throughout the state is one of her passions, along with writing about her adventures.
Taking over as travel writer for the Ozark Gateway Region is a dream come true for Huffman who lives in the region with her two daughters, Grace and Stella.
As a family, they enjoy canoeing the Poke Bayou, Salado Creek and the many waterways along the White River in Independence County. Camping and hiking throughout the region is a must for them in the spring and fall as well.
Huffman is an avid nature photographer who will do just about anything to find the perfect waterfall shot, and has visited many in the great state. From Twin Falls and the Richland Creek area in Northwest Arkansas to little known places off the beaten path, waterfalls will be found.
Huffman has been a travel writer for the Eye on Independence Magazine as well as a staff writer for the Batesville Guard, and is looking forward to devoting her time to traveling throughout the eight county region that the Ozark Gateway offers.
