That is not to say members of 4-H throw together a craft or two and pick a cow from the pasture to show for competition. Those involved this year will begin work on next year’s fair the first week in September. “It is a year-round job,” said Deb Jones, the 4-H youth development extension agent. Jones said 4-H is unique because it provides youth a special opportunity to help organize and run the fair they also star in. Jones said the youth are given responsibility in organizing the 4H section of the fair. In past years, youth have begun the week after the fair evaluating that year’s fairbook, pinpointing and eliminating problems, praising and improving highlights. “It’s something where the kids can say, ‘It’s my county fair, and I’m proud of it,’” Jones said of the youths’ leadership role. The youth do not accomplish all this alone. Their parents are right behind them. And, at the fair, they are probably right next to them: judging competitions, making sure the grounds are clean and presentable, oiganizing and coordinating events.
“It takes a lot of moms and dads,” Jones said.
