All 10 year members and Star Achiever winners need to report to the livestock arena 30 minutes prior to opening ceremonies. We will put you in alphabet order and let you know the process for 10 year recognition. If you have changes to your bio please let us know prior to that day so that we can make those in a timely manner or let us know that day. Make sure the people that are walking with you are there as well. Please dress nicely for this event, though we understand that this is also livestock check-in day.

Star Achievers you will get your sashes that day and we will prep you for what all you will be doing during Fair Week! Please reach out if you have any questions.

For those interested, you are invited to come to Opening Ceremonies on Saturday, July 18th at 4PM at the Livestock Arena on the Fairground to walk across the stage in your Fashion Revue outfits. You can stop by the Exhibit Building at 3:15pm to pick up your outfits and get ready. This is not a requirement, but allows members an opportunity to show their skills in front of an audience.

Meet at the north side of the stage.

"During the fair, the 4-H animal exhibitor/seller may receive clipping and grooming assistance from anyone that they see fit, but the 4-Her must be actively involved in the process at some capacity. This may mean family members, someone outside of the county/state, another 4-H member, etc. The 4-Her must be helping by either washing, walking, clipping, etc."

There will be a Dairy Work Night Coming up!
