Jennifer Christie is the Vice-Chair of the event.

She says they're looking for memorabilia from past clubs and information and stories they can share at the centennial celebration.

The Bruce County 4-H Association 100th anniversary event is October 24th at the Saugeen Golf Club at Southampton.

Tickets will be available at Sprucedale Agromart in Tara, Huron Tractor in Walkerton and the Country Depot in Kincardine.
