Thank You Notes Available
Those of you receiving awards at the Fairfield County Junior Fair, please turn your rosette over and look at the label on the back. The label contains the name of your award sponsor – please send them a thank you note. If you need a thank you note, stop by the Junior Fair Office today until noon, or 9 am to noon on Saturday. (The Junior Fair Office is closed today at noon through Friday for the sale). Thank you notes can also be requested through the Extension Office next week.
Exhibitor Premiums
If you completed a project during summer judging and have the project exhibited at the fair, you are eligible to receive the premium award based on the grade you received. Stop by the little red building east of the Junior Fair Office (on top of the hill) and pick up your premium. For those of you that are showing this week at the fair, you can get your premium the day AFTER your show. The ladies working in the premium office need your grade before they can give you your premium, and we need until the following morning to get them copies.
2019 Ohio Military Kids Information
It is finally fall! With that being said, the Ohio Military Kids 2018 season is coming to an end. However, we are already planning for the 2019 event season. Ohio Military Kids is a partnership with Ohio State University Extension 4-H Youth Development and Family Readiness with Ohio National Guard. With this amazing partnership, Ohio Military Kids puts on several events throughout the state of Ohio. These events range from one day events, to overnights, to weekend camps, and even weeklong residential camps. These events are open to youth of military families, and they do not have to be a member of 4-H to participate. 4-H members and adults have the opportunity to volunteer for OMK events, including as camp counselors in the summer!
The mission of Ohio Military Kids is to support the youth of military families throughout the deployment cycle. Ohio 4-H is an essential supporter of the Ohio Military Kids Program and its mission. Ohio 4-H works hand-in-hand with Ohio National Guard to deliver fun and supportive programs to military families. With military youth in every county in Ohio, the partnership of 4-H to promote OMK opportunities to your military friends and neighbors in all 88 counties is appreciated!
