4-H Club Displays for Fair:
As Fair gets closer, your clubs might be thinking about designing their display exhibits! The goal of the exhibit is to share to the public what your club does. You want the display to be fun, exciting, and draw fair goers in so they want to learn more! The display, and the entire tent, should have some focus or reference to the Fair Theme. The 2022 Fair Theme is: The 4-H Magic is Back!
If you would like your club display judged, you should follow the rubric on the website at this link: Club Exhibit Judging Sheet.

4-H Club T-Shirt Fashion Show & Contest

Thank you for always working hard to Make the Best Better!

PREP/CLOVERBUD VOLUNTEERS WANTED!

Are you interested in leading a 4-H Prep/Cloverbud club? These noncompetitive clubs, for youth in grades K – 3, are a great way to introduce children to 4-H. There has been a lot of interest in clubs for crafts, robotics, computers, and cooking. If you have knowledge in these areas - or something else - that you’d like to share, now is a great time to become a trained 4-H volunteer.

For more information, please contact Jill Brochinsky, 4-H Program Coordinator, at jbrochinsky@co.somerset.nj.us.
