Carlisle County 4-H'ers showed off at this year's county and state fairs.

It also gives the public a chance to see what 4-H is all about as they attend other events.
This year, Carlisle County 4-H'ers turned in a record-breaking 218 exhibits to the county fair and 42 exhibits to the state fair, showing off a year's worth of hard work in 4-H projects.
