First-Ever DeWitt, Macon, Piatt, Counties 4-H Fair Held This Weekend

The first joint 4-H for three local counties was held this past weekend in Clinton.

 

Lindsey Burden, DeWitt County 4-H Extension Coordinator, indicated the fair kicked off on Friday evening with tractor driving and the Ag Olympics. General project judging and livestock shows were held Saturday and Sunday, and the auction will close out the fair tonight.

 

 

DeWitt County 4-H exhibitor Morgan Drozs completed 20 different projects for this year's fair. She says 4-H is not just about agriculture and encourages anyone interested to consider joining a club.

 

 

Cole Young participated in the swine show. He says this was just one of several shows he will be showing across the country this year.

 

 

Miranda Reedy, leader of Cisco Clovers club in Piatt County, indicated her club received a grant from Farm Credit to build bleachers for the poultry barn. She says the bleachers were put to good use at this year's fair as poultry entries increased.

 

 

The DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties 4-H fair concludes today with the cattle show at 8 am and the DeWitt County 4-H Foundation auction at 7 pm.
