Grant County Representing at the State Fair

Author: Ari Veach

Planning Unit: Grant County CES

Major Program: Community Vitality and Leadership – 4-H Youth Development

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

For youth in 4-H making it to the great Kentucky State Fair alone is a huge accomplishment! This year the youth in Grant County showed up and represented! Grant County youth worked hard in 2021, even given the shutdowns and new way of conducting meetings. Grant County had 6 champion ribbons along with many blues and reds ranging over 5 different projects. We had one 4-Her have a good day at Country Ham Day this year bringing home a first place overall in their age division, first place ham, and first in their speech. We also had people place top in their classes in foods and sewing at the state fair! We are proud of our Grant County 4-Hers placing top in many of their classes and representing well this year! We look forward to sending even more youth next year to the Kentucky State Fair!
