Fair Preparation Event

Preparing projects for the Riley County Fair is a fun and exciting prospect, but can prove to be difficult and frustrating for some of our 4-Hers and their families. To alleviate this frustration we host an annual “Fair Preparation” event, allowing 4-Hers to connect with experts on a host of project areas. This year we will host the event on Thursday, July 11 from 5:30-7:00 pm at Pottorf Hall in Cico Park. 

On hand that evening there will be experts in the project areas of Photography, Geology, Foods, Posters/Displays, Clothing Construction, Buymanship, Space Tech, Building Creations, Rabbit, and Poultry. They can give you suggestions on project ideas, tell you what the judges will look for and what questions a judge may ask. There will be an opportunity to mount your fair photos, so please bring your photos with your! You may also pick up fair supplies (entry cards, photo mats, photo slips, clothing labels, etc.).
