Over the past year, the Woodford County 4-H Council has recognized that the current system for project work recognition needed to be reworked. In addition, the council members felt that 4-H needed to continue exploring new ways to market itself and to promote all that it offered to the community. In response, the committee responsible for planning the 4-H Youth Expo proposed the “4-H Day at the Farmer’s Market” with the goals to 1. Showcase 2022-2023 4-H project work and 2. Promote 4-H to the community. The Woodford County 4-H council partnered with the Woodford County Farmer’s Market to plan the event and solicited assistance from the several local sponsors and the Woodford County Fire Department. The day included several tables to show the project work, a dunking booth, 4-H giveaways including 4-H clover cookies and 4-H bucks to use at the Farmer’s Market vendors, a prize wheel and a photo backdrop. As a result of the event, twenty five families signed up to receive more information on 4-H programs, over 80 bags with 4-H information were given out, 125 projects were on display for the public and $150 were spent by the attendees at the Farmer’s Market Vendors.
