4-H & Fairs
Fairs provide many opportunities for youth involved in 4-H to learn and grow. Exhibiting 4-H projects at the fair is optional and a wonderful way for young people to showcase their work and receive feedback and recognition.
Youth in Dane County can exhibit at the following local fairs: Dane County Fair, Lodi Fair, Stoughton Fair
These fairs are not run by Dane County 4-H. Be sure to visit the website of the fair you want to exhibit or get the necessary forms. Members are responsible for turning in their entries on time. It is the member’s responsibility to find out the rules of a fair and follow them, while representing Dane County 4-H and following the Wisconsin 4-H Code of Conduct.
