Friday 4-H Nugget

Greetings 4-H Community,

It is the first of July, and that means that our great showcase we call the Elkhart County

4-H Fair is just around the corner. We are thankful for our great partnership with the Elkhart County 4-H Fair Board that gives us a Grand Champion venue and spotlight for all of our 4-H members! Be sure to check out the full fair schedule. You can also download the Elkhart County 4-H Fair app to your phone from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. This is a great way to carry less paper around.

Be sure to pay attention to the July Calendar and judging information below. We don't want anyone to miss the opportunity to get feedback on your projects. Speaking of that don't forget to complete Fair Entry. If you have any questions please be sure to reach out to our office staff and we would be happy to assist you.

All the best,

Robby Kelly & Sthele Greybar

Don't Forget Fair Entry

All 4-H members are asked to enter what exhibits they are going to or plan to bring to the Elkhart County 4-H Fair. This greatly helps us with paperwork and judging sheets ahead of time. Click here to complete fair entry.

Please complete this by Thursday, July 7. After that date you will need to wait until fair check-in time. Note that you may have to wait until we get this entered for your project to be judged or checked-in.

Once the fair starts all of our results will be automatically published online as well with this system!

Save the Date

Remember Your Check-in Dates/Times!

Please use this calendar to make sure 4-H exhibits are turned in on time! Make sure to review your project checklists and guidelines to guarantee you meet all requirements. Bring any materials you think you might need with you when you check in the project!

If you would like to help with building setup prior to the fair starting, we could use all the help we can get on Wednesday, July 13 in the ECCC building. The heavy lifting will happen between 4pm and 8pm that night. It’s a good time!
