This weekend, young equestrians will be showing off their animals and skills at the DeWitt County 4-H Horse Show.
4-H Youth Development Educator with the University of Illinois in DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties, Henry Craft, indicates that the horse show takes place this Saturday and Sunday. He says a year's worth of work or more for students culminates in this moment each year.
From July 9th to July 12th, Craft invites the community to come and appreciate the over 1,500 projects that around 500 4-Hers have put their hearts into. He notes that this fair features students from all three counties in the service area.
From arts to science, to livestock, Craft feels that the Extension provides the space for students to explore their own interests and cultivate new ones. He notes that to achieve that, it takes a lot of dedicated volunteers.
The Horse Show and General Project Show take place at the DeWitt County Fair Grounds on US Business 51, north of the CH Moore Homestead. Learn more about 4-H in DeWitt, Macon, and Piatt Counties by visiting extension.illinois.edu/dmp.
