The Fannin County Fashion Show and Tea serves a dual purpose. First, it serves as the county level 4-H contest, qualifying Clothing and Textile contest participants for the District level contest in April. Second, it is a benefit event for the youth programs of the CAC and the family services of the FCFCC. The last two years, the 4-H Fashion Show and Tea Committee donated just over $600 to these two service organizations, which make a tremendous impact on Fannin County families.
