4-H at the Cornish Fair

The Cornish 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.

Animal Fence Talks - 4-H members will share their knowledge and expertise about their 4-H animal project at various barn locations throughout the fair. These judged presentations are interactive, as youth engage the public and present their knowledge centered on their animal project.
