The Bluegrass Fair
Author: Lucas Powell
Planning Unit: Fayette County CES
Major Program: Leadership
Plan of Work: Build Engaged and Empowered Communities
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
4-H Fair Projects ignite curiosity and cultivate skills. 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 fits their interest.
During the last year, we have seen a growth in the number of entries and items submitted to the Bluegrass Fair. We have had 28 different participants submit Cloverville entries totaling over 60 projects. Of those projects, 36 are eligible for the state fair. This program is made possible through our partnership with the Fayette County Lions Club, which is responsible for planning the Bluegrass Fair. We plan to continue to grow this program year after year. The many projects showcased exhibit the abilities gained through participation in 4-H programs.
