4-H Fair
These comments were from
4-H’ers who attended the Lancas
ter County 4-H Fair held at Lampe
ter Fairgrounds last week. These
4-H members entered more than
1,200 projects in the Fair. The pro
jects were judged and awarded rib
bons, and in some competitions,
the winner receives trophies and
money.
Four-H is for boys and girls
from ages 8 to 19. It offers many
opportunities for learning, achiev
ing, and having fun. On this page,
you will see some of the ways that
4-H’ers have fun at the fair.
The 4-H idea has spread around
the world to the point where prog
rams similar to 4-H now exist in
more than 80 countries with about
5,000,000 members.
Perhaps you did not attend this
Fair but are a member of 4-H and
will attend a 4-H Fair in your
county.
If you are not a member of 4-H,
you may become one. Check the
phone directory for the telephone
number of the 4-H organization
nearest you. It is listed under Penn
State Cooperative Extension.
