Kentucky 4-H state fair projects ignite curiosity and cultivate skills. These skills can be adapted into larger life lessons youth will take with them for many years to come. At the heart of 4-H lies project work, an initiative that empowers 4-Hers to choose a topic of personal interest and passionately delve into it. Projects are available in seven core areas: natural resources, agriculture, communication and expressive arts, family consumer sciences, health and wellness, leadership and sciences engineering and technology. Kentucky 4-H ensures every member finds a project that ignites their curiosity.
During this last year we have seen a growth in the number of entries and items submitted to the Bluegrass Fair. We have had 20 different participants submit Cloverville entries totaling over 40 projects. Of those projects, 29 are eligible for the state fair. We have also had a very successful year with our animal show projects having many patriciates. This program is made possible through our partnership with the Fayette County Lions Club and Locus Trace Ag-Science Center. We Plan to continue to grow this program next year after year.
