4-H is back again at the 80th Annual Belknap County Fair on August 3-4! This year's theme is Fair Necessities: 4-H is the Heart and Backbone of a great fair!
The Belknap County Fair plays an important role in the growth and development of 4-H youth. The fair allows youth to showcase their projects and learning, in return for encouraging and motivating feedback to promote continued growth and development. Youth also share their learning with the public while learning from others.
The fair is open to all 4-H youth participants ages 5 and up. Members 8 – 18 will receive awards as well as premium money. Cloverbud members will receive participation awards. Awards are according to the Danish System. Unless the exhibit and/or article was judged in the wrong Division or Class, all judge's decisions are final. Participants must register through 4-H Online.
Registration through FairEntry opens on May 1! The deadline to register is Friday, July 6th, 2024.
Make sure to read through the 2024 Fair Book for the latest regulations!
The Belknap County 4-H Dairy Bar needs your help to scoop ice cream during the fair. Sign up for a shift and earn money for your club.
The King Arthur Baking Contest is open to Youth and Adults. Youth will bake a No Fuss Coffee Cake and Adults will bake Perfectly Pillowy Cinnamon Rolls. The rules and recipes will be available shortly (will also be available in the Fair Book). You can register ahead of time on Fair Entry, or bring your entry form and baked good with you on August 3rd from 8:00am-11:00am.
Don't forget to nominate a Belknap County 4-Her for a Fair Award!
