The theme for this year’s event is “4-H Celebrates America’s Birthday!” There will be special events with local military, such as “Meet us at the Pole,” to recite the National Anthem, in addition to other patriotic activities throughout the fair days. The image used is the winner of the “Create the Cover” contest, where 4-H members submitted drawing representing the theme of the show.
