The DeWitt County Fair Board is fundraising for more improvements at the 4-H Fairgrounds in Clinton. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, 4-H Youth Development Educator for the University of Illinois Extension in DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties Henry Craft, Henry Craft told Regional Radio they have some existing and upcoming projects to keep the DeWitt County Fairgrounds in good shape.

These projects can cost a pretty penny and Craft explains they are raising those funds by applying for grants, business outreach, and most importantly personal asks. 

The Fairgrounds Board is hoping to have these projects by this year's fair coming in mid-July. Because they have already started construction, Craft says they're moving fast. 

Craft reminds the DeWitt County 4-H Fairgrounds hosts youth from the three County area now for not only the open show but for livestock and the horse show, making the Fairground a very busy place each summer.
