Each Fall FCSS organizes these special nights to encourage local groups and organizations to come together to promote and advertise services and supports available. The events are free of charge for attendees and are great places to bring the family to explore and receive information about all Lamont County has to offer.
Events are hosted annually in the Town of Lamont, Town of Bruderheim, Town of Mundare and the Village of Andrew.
What makes Lamont County such a vibrant community is largely thanks to our community members who take a vested interest in building, supporting, and enhancing services and support to our residents.
Supporting local volunteers is an essential part of the FCSS mandate.
