(CAMBRIDGE, Ill.) Fair season has a whole other meaning for 4-H members. It provides them with the opportunity to showcase the work they have put in to their 4-H projects. From livestock to visual arts, members choose from over 150 different areas to learn and grow in their knowledge. They bring their projects to the fair at scheduled times for conference judging. You can see their projects and watch the members in action throughout the week of the Henry County Fair in Cambridge, IL which opens to the public June 15 – 19, 2022.

4-H General Projects are being judged on Saturday, June 11 and will be available to view in the Art Hall building during the fair. General projects include things like woodworking, horticulture, visual arts, cooking, baking, robotics, natural resources and many others. Dates and times for this year’s other Henry County 4-H shows are: Saturday, June 11: Small Pets at 2 pm; Dog Obedience & Showmanship at 3 pm. Thursday, June 16: Horse Show at 9 am; Bucket Calf Show at 11 am; and Master Showmanship at 6:30 pm.

Volunteers are also getting the Henry County 4-H Food Stand ready to serve fairgoers. They will be serving breakfast lunch, dinner, and the fair-favorite: lemon shakeups. All proceeds from the food stand support the Henry County 4-H program. “We look forward to serving you and seeing you at the fair this year”, said Jennifer Peterson, 4-H educator.
