Ogle County 4-H Fair Beef Show winners

Youth showing a black cow

OREGON, Ill.— The 4-H Fair is a celebration of youth achievement, where members showcase the results of a yearlong project in an area they’re passionate about. Through conference-style judging, 4-H’ers receive valuable feedback, recognition, and ideas for future growth. The Ogle County 4-H Fair took place at the Ogle County Fairgrounds in Oregon from July 31 through August 3. 

 

Each project is evaluated based on learning, quality, and how well it meets guidelines, with ribbons awarded to reflect this. Top exhibits may even be chosen to represent Ogle County at the Illinois State Fair. Congratulations to this year's Beef Show winners.
