4-H Members from Glade Valley area 4-H Clubs are off to a GREAT start at The Great Frederick Fair!  Winning awards and raising funds for 4-H seem to come naturally to these young leaders in the community.

Friday evening, Ashley Fuss of the Walkersville 4-H Club was crowned the 50th Frederick County 4-H Queen.  Garret Buckmeier of Keymar was crowned 4-H King.  Chase Ferguson, a student at Walkersville High School and member of the Johnsville 4-H Club, was selected First-Runner-Up to the 4-H King.  As part of the celebration of the crowning of 4-H’s 50th Queen, some of the past 4-H Royalty were in attendance; many of those have close ties to Glade Valley.  Can you identify the Glade Valley residents?
