Orange County Fair Brings Wholesome Fun
By Kelly Carr, 4 - H Youth Educator, Virginia Cooperative Extension, Orange Unit
The Orange County Fair will take place June 23 - 26 at the Orange County Fairgrounds. The fair is the culminating experience for many of our 4 - H members as it's a chance to show off their project work. Whether archery members who demonstrate their skills on the targets or animal exhibitors who compete in the show ring, it's important for kids to have a chance to earn recognition for their efforts. The fair also provides a chance for members to share with the public what they've been learning over the past year, through tactile exhibits, educational posters at each animal stall, and personal visits to potential supporters of the 4 - H auction. There will also be a livestock auction. In addition to high quality, locally raised animals, the auction will also feature items such as home decor, gift baskets, and a catered dinner to benefit 4 - H club treasuries. Here are some photos from a previous fair to give a hint of the fun that attendees will experience. For more information on the many events and attractions at the fair, visit orangecountyfairva.com. Enjoy!
