The 4-H fair means many things to many people. It’s an event that our community looks forward to every year, but it’s so much more. The fair is simply the culmination of a year’s worth of work within the 4-H program. It’s youth development, shaping our next generation of leaders, entrepreneurs, and community members. As a program, 4-H’s mission statement is this: “4-H provides kids with community, mentors, and learning opportunities to develop the skills they need to create positive change in their lives and communities.” And at the fair, here’s everything they’ve worked toward for the year of 2021. So, while you attend for the fun displays, rides, funnel cakes, and lemon shake-ups, remember the proud individuals and families behind each and every animal shown, cake displayed, and lego built.
