They’ve got dinner all figured out for you. If you want an easy, full meal with dessert and want to benefit a local cause at the same time, get your tickets for the fish and tenderloin dinner sponsored by the Fulton County 4-H Horse and Pony Club.

It will take place from 4-7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, at the Fulton County 4-H Fairgrounds. You can drive through and pick up pre-purchased dinners or stop by to purchase carryout meals. Pre-sale tickets for children ages zero to 12 are $8, and presale tickets for adults are $12. If you buy your tickets at the door, they’ll each cost 50 cents more.
