4-H and the Ontario County Fair

After a hiatus of fairs last summer, Ontario County 4-H’ers were very excited for the return of the Ontario County Fair this year.

The Ontario County fair is an important experience that many people look forward to every year, but we would argue that 4-H’ers might look forward to it the most. For 4-H youth, county fair is a milestone in their year; a time where they come together to for fun and learning and to exhibit their work. From rabbits and dairy cows to sewing and science projects, 4-H’ers work hard all year to prepare projects for exhibition in the county fair. This year, the Ontario County Fair was held from July 27-31, and this year’s fair was a breath of fresh air as it felt very “normal” in a time where many activities are still “abnormal”.

Throughout fair week, youth had the opportunity to work together as club to create displays of their non-animal projects for fair-goers to enjoy, participate in animal shows, learn life skills by serving ice cream in the 4-H dairy bar, and complete in educational events. Throughout fair week, 4-H events provided a safe space for youth to interact with their peers, share what they had learned, receive feedback and encouragement from caring judges, and step up into leadership roles
