After a year of virtual, University of Illinois, Lee County 4-H is excited to announce in person judging for Lee County 4-H projects July 20-25 at the Lee County 4-H Center. 4-H’ers have been spending the year meeting virtually and in person, when mitigations allowed, learning about leadership, community service, project areas, and more! The 4-H fair each year, gives the youth in the county a chance to showcase their hard work throughout the past year.

To abide by current capacity and social distancing guidelines, 4-H judging has been expanded to Tuesday, July 20 & Wednesday, July 21. Judging will also be held during the Lee County 4-H Fair & Jr Show on July 22-25. After judging is completed, projects will be on display for public viewing at the Lee County 4-H Fair & Jr show.
