It’s Just About Fair Week!
This week I had several of our 4-H Ambassadors assist me in preparing some publicity for the Barton County Fair. Natalie Williams and the Barton Country 4-H Ambassadors invite you to check out our Country Pride, County Wide at the Barton County Fair happening July 5-9! You can check out the full schedule for our many upcoming activities at the Barton County Fair at bartoncountyfair.com
Pre-fair events have already started with the Fashion Revue, Fiber Arts, and Clothing Construction Judging on June 29th. Jayla Wyant hopes that you will check out the results from these events during the fair dates July 5-9! We have a lot of creative 4-H members who have learned new skills all year and look forward sharing them with you!
Jonas Kern is one of the Barton County 4-H Ambassadors and reminds you that much of the 4-H judging will be completed on Wednesday, July 5th, and in the evening, we’ll hold our annual Youth Rally in the ring in Expo III!
