IT'S  FAIR TIME AGAIN!!!!!!


Welcome to the wonderful world of 4-H!!   Fair time can prove to bring out the best & worst of us all!  We know that there is a lot of expectation, responsibilities, joy, & disappointment involved.  The one thing that I've learned after doing fairs for 8 years is to always temper your expectations with reality checks & remain organized.  Fair time is the real test of a 4-H club's efficiency;  project meetings definitely have proven to me that children walk into their fair experience with a lot more self-confidence & knowledge. 
Here is a breif summary of fair activities that are relavent to our clubs showing scheduale.  It is not complete because it contains only the areas that Stepping Stones members will be showing in.
