This weekend opens the DeWitt County 4-H fair with the horse show.

Lindsey Burden with the University of Illinois Extension office says Saturday of the horse show is more of the competitive side of things while Sunday is more of the fun parts of the show.

Burden says youth are broken into three classes and while it can be a long day at the fairgrounds, it ends up being a good time for everyone.

The kids that participate are enrolled in 4-H and participate in several workshops throughout the year.

Burden is looking forward to being a part of the weekend of activities for the first time in her role as 4-H Extension Coordinator. 

Hear live coverage from the horse show Saturday morning from 10 am to 11 am on The Big 1520 AM/92.3 FM/106.5 FM WHOW and online at dewittdailynews.com.
