More About 4-H and the 4-H Fair

In August, kids that have engaged in 4-H during the year come together for the big show, the 4-H fair at the Romano Center. On display and up for auction are projects, artwork and livestock completed by kids in the clubs. Ribbons of achievement are affixed to livestock and beside works of art proudly shown by the kids that raised and cared or created them. The projects are auctioned off at the fair where families and community members purchase the culmination of the kid’s hard work. Chester County 4-H also offers the next step of leadership through its Teen council where youth from 13 to 19 years old engage, lead and impact their communities through county wide projects that build on 4-H programs, volunteerism and civic engagement. They also have the opportunity to participate at the State 4-H Leadership conference. Visit facebook.com/chestercounty4H
