Hay Bale Decorating Contest

Each year during the NC State Fair, there is a hay bale decorating contest. Since, the pandemic cancelled the fair and the hay bale contest, NC 4-H is excited to announce the 4-H Hay Bale Decorating Fun for your 4-H families and 4-H'ers.

This is a fun opportunity for 4-H families to spend some time together and enjoy decorating hay bales. There is a family category and an individual category. The linked flyer will explain this competition.

Registration will be due November 23rd so you have plenty of time to get creative.
