Summer in central Illinois means two things: heat and fair season. 

Terri Miller-Casey is the Director of the University of Illinois Extension serving Logan, Menard, and Sangamon Counties, and on the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, she told Regional Radio that the Sangamon County 4-H Show is this weekend. 

Not only are students learning skills that help them execute their project throughout the year, but Miller-Casey states that the judging process teaches them how to talk to adults and receive constructive criticism. 

Miller-Casey indicates that the 4-H Show will be busy this year due to the number of students they have. Since the pandemic, she says the numbers have really bounced back. 

Visit the Sangamon County 4-H Show this Saturday at the fairgrounds, located at 318 W Birch St in New Berlin. Learn more about 4-H in Logan, Menard, and Sangamon Counties by visiting extension.illinois.edu/lms.
