Local 4-Hers have been putting in the work all year, in preparation for the fair.
Kendra Wallace, 4-H Coordinator for the University of Illinois Extension for DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties, explains that the DeWitt County 4-H fair kicks off with the Horse Show on July 5th, and ends on July 13th with the Awards Program.
Ag Olympics has become the must-attend kickoff event for the fair. Wallace indicates members of the Farm Bureau's Young Leader Program organized that event.
Wallace calls the Horse Show is quite the event. 4-Hers will participate in events like flags and barrels, as well as general riding. She notes that the superintendents and volunteers put a lot of work into the Horse Show.
The DeWitt County 4-H Show has much more to offer than just the Horse Show, and we'll have more on that with Wallace next week on Regional Radio.
Tune into WHOW on Saturday, July 5th from 10 AM to 11 AM to hear live updates from the show.
