The problem 

- In recent years, Perry County has had little to no representation at the KY State Fair.

Other partners (if applicable)

- SEKSPA, Perry Central HS, Farm Bureau, Soil Conservation Board

Program impact or participant response.

- This year Perry County will have 10 4-Hers participating in various shows! Some of them include Rabbits, Honey, and Country Hams. We hope to increase this participation every year for years to come!
