Cloverbud Graduation Ceremony

We are excited to hold our first Licking County 4-H Cloverbud Graduation Ceremony! We will celebrate our Cloverbud members who have completed their last year as a Cloverbud who will graduate into their new role as youth project member next year! Parents/guardians of these Cloverbuds had the opportunity to register their child for this event, and we are excited that we will get to celebrate 32 of our Licking County 4-H Cloverbud members. We encourage family, friends, advisors, and fellow 4-H members to join us for the Cloverbud Graduation Ceremony on Tuesday, August 8, 2023 at 2:30pm in the 4-H Center at the Hartford Fair!

REMINDER: Help Needed in the 4-H Center at the Hartford Fair

by

Thank you to everyone who as signed up to volunteer in the 4-H Center during the Hartford Fair. We could still use additional volunteers, especially later in the week.

The 4-H Center is open from 10:00am to 8:00pm each day of the fair. Volunteer shifts are one hour and volunteers just need to keep an eye on the building and answer general questions from fair visitors. This is a great opportunity relax for an hour or two in the air conditioning while helping promote 4-H and support those clubs and members who are displaying their projects in the 4-H Center. 4-H members are encouraged to participate, but we do ask that an adult be present with the members while they work their shift.

To sign up for a 4-H Center shift, please visit go.osu.edu/Hartford4HCenter. If you have questions, please reach out to Adrienne Anderson at anderson.1410@osu.edu.

The email will be from the “Hartford Independent Agricultural Society Box Office” from the email address: fansupport@hometownticketing.com. The subject line of email should say “Your Receipt and Tickets for 2023 Hartford Fair – Passes and Permits”. If you do not see this email in your inbox, please first ensure that you are checking the correct email inbox. Please also check your spam/junk folder as your email server may have automatically directed the email there.

You can either save your admission pass to a mobile device, or you can print it off and carry a physical copy. The QR code on the admission pass is unique to you and is what will be scanned when you enter the gate.
