An overwhelming amount of members stated their favorite part is partaking in the Northeastern Montana Fair as well as helping out their communities.

"A lot of good comes from 4-H, including public speaking skills. The extension agent scores and provides these scores to the Kiwanis for recognition. Every year we recognize the 4-H clubs and have been for the past 40 to 50 years," stated Kiwanis Club Secretary Charles Wilson.
