4-H county fairs come to Indiana this summer, all are invited to attend

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Mark your calendars! This summer, all are invited to attend 4-H county fairs across Indiana. A spreadsheet with a full list of dates can be downloaded from the 4-H Youth Development homepage by clicking “View Dates.”

County fairs bring our communities together and serve as a culmination of the yearlong educational experiences of participants in Purdue University Extension’s 4-H Youth Development program. Activities can include exhibition of 4-H projects on topics from aerospace to woodworking, livestock shows and public speaking competitions. 

Casey Mull, assistant director of Purdue Extension and 4-H youth development, said, “The county fairs give 4-H’ers the opportunity to share what sparks their interests and showcase the valuable skills, credentials and connections they have gained, preparing them for the future.”
