NEW, exciting exhibit that will be at the 2022 Ohio State Fair. Little Farmers will be an educational, hands-on experience geared towards 3 – 10 year olds to teach them about agriculture.  

In order to make this exhibit successful, they need to recruit a large number of volunteers to participate. Individuals or groups may volunteer for an entire day or just one shift. While they are targeting FFA chapters, 4-H clubs, and sponsor organizations, this can also be an opportunity for everyone! 

Below is the volunteer toolkit, as well as a one-page flier.  Feel free to post any of these graphics to your social media accounts or share with anyone that you think might be interested in this opportunity.

Anyone that is interested in volunteering can submit the online form and will be contacted early June to start scheduling.  

All volunteers get FREE Ohio State Fair admission for themselves and one guest if working at least one four-hour shift. This may be a great opportunity for families/4-H clubs that are going to be there already or 4-H clubs/groups that want to spend a day helping! The shifts are 4 hours so plenty of time to explore the fair afterwards/before shifts.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions. We appreciate you helping to spread the word about Little Farmers at the 2022 Ohio State Fair!
