Fair Highlight: Mason County 4-H
“Community” is the word that comes to mind when describing the Mason County 4-H Show. You see it in the partners that support the fair and you feel it when you participate in the events. Menard Electric Cooperative demonstrated “community” with a generous donation to install lights at the horse arena. The 4-H Federation created an avenue for “community” to happen as they planned a variety of yard games for fair-goers to enjoy together. • 98 4-H members exhibited 574 entries • 55 Best of Show trophies and 8 Livestock Showmanship awards • 55 exhibits selected for Illinois State Fair plus 90 alternates • 28 youth exhibited general projects at Illinois State Fair and 7 earned Superior awards • 15 youth exhibited livestock projects at Illinois State Fair
“4-H was the best thing I have ever done for my kids and my family. The time we have spent at 4-H Shooting Sports and during fair week is some of the best family time we have had together.” CASEY MCKIMSON, NEW 4-H DAD
