Registration is open for those 4-Hers with the goal of showing at the fair this summer.
On the WHOW Morning Show, Monday, Marissa Capps, 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator with the University of Illinois Extension in DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties, told the Hart Media Group that fair season kicks off with the DeWitt County Horse Show on June 27th.
The 4-H fair is not just for 4-Hers and their families. Capps says it is a great opportunity to learn about and appreciate all the hard work that kids in the community put into their projects.
Those looking to get involved with the fair can volunteer to be a general project judge, which Capps says is a huge area of need. She notes that you do not have to be an expert on the project area, because you are provided with judging guidelines.
4-Hers or their guardians should have already received an email with a link to register for the fair. Capps reminds you that you must register each of your projects if you are showing more than one.
Capps hopes that students have not been procrastinating on their projects as the fair grows closer. Learn more about 4-H in DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties by visiting extension.illinois.edu/dmp.
