For most youth across our state the month of August is for finishing up that magical summer must do list and trying to forget that n new school year is about to start. But for some 4-H members in Owen County had something else on their mind, the 2021 Kentucky State Fair. The State Fair was amazing, the Owen County 4-H Youth Development Agent delivered 72 entries, and 7 country hams to Louisville for display and judging in August! 

Owen County 4-H is so proud of all of our members for all their hard work with entries in Horticulture Production, Forages (Hay), Arts, Photography and many more. For many of the exhibitors from Owen County this was their very first experience with the State Fair, and they did exceptionally well.

Owen County had 2 Grand Champions, 4 Champions, 30 Blue Ribbon Awards, 30 Red Ribbon Awards, and 12 White Ribbon Awards. One Member also won the Junior Division Citizenship Bee in Cloverville!

Overall, the 2021 Kentucky State Fair was one to remember and set goals for next year to be even bigger!
