Summerfest Winners – Please send your THANK YOU NOTES! :o)

We need to make sure our sponsors receive thanks and appreciation for supporting Fairfield County’s youth! Summerfest award winners can write thank you notes to those donors who were included on their registration cards at check-in. We encourage youth to include information about their project, award received, etc. as the sponsors enjoy reading this information! Sponsors also love pictures if members have any of their project they would like to share!

Endowment Awareness & Donation Breakfast – Friday, October 14th, 2021

The 2021 Endowment Donation Breakfast will be held at the Ed Sands/Farm Bureau Building on FRIDAY, October 14th, 2021 from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. (or until sold out). Come have some fun, enjoy breakfast and make a donation to the Fairfield County Endowment Fund. Money donated covers the cost of the breakfast and helps provide training and personal development opportunities for 4-H members today so they can be strong leaders tomorrow. Grab and go option will be available for those who will be on their way to the Livestock Sale which starts at 10:00 a.m. on Friday for market lambs, market rabbits, market poultry, and market goats.

Junior Fair Entries are due TODAY, August 27th by 4:00 p.m.

The NEW Junior Fair Entry Forms are now available. Please review the Junior Fair Book to be sure you are turning in the correct entry forms for each fair project you plan to exhibit. Advisors may turn club forms into the Senior Fair Office (SFO), Monday – Friday, August 23-27, between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:00 pm. This is the second and final week to drop off Junior Fair Entries.

Youth and their parents must complete the their ENTRY FORMS using the  2021 Junior Fair Book for department, book, and class numbers, and turn their forms into their advisor.  The advisor is to check the form over, and then will submit all member forms for their club to the Junior Fair Office.  Don’t forget to sign your forms – Member, Parent and Advisor!

Please enter all animals (including backup animals) for each member, as we know many of you aren’t sure which market animal you will be bringing to the fair yet.

Youth entering dogs, companion animals, crops and gardening projects, or cakes, pies and candies will also need to complete an entry form.

Dogs and Horses will need to complete their separate show entry forms as well and submit with fair entries to the Senior Fair Office by Friday, August 27th at 4:00 p.m.
