4-H Exhibit Building

Fair time is just around the corner and it’s shaping up to be a good year for all the 4-H members. Members have been working hard for the past year on skill building projects ranging from Quilting to Aerospace to Leather Craft. This year in the exhibit building you will see projects like Cake Decorating, Robotics and Welding. Between working on projects for the fair, participating at the State Congress at the Montana State University Campus, Bozeman, and the different 4-H workshops, Richland County 4-H members have been very busy this summer. The fair is all about showing off what this area’s youth can do, and the indoor exhibits are a big part of what 4-H is about. Many of these exhibits will lead into much more than just a project, they will spark an interest that will carry on past the teenage years. The indoor exhibits will be on display in the 4-H Exhibit Building, from Aug. 3 to conclusion of the fair on Saturday. We invite everyone to stop by the 4-H Exhibit Building and enjoy the hard work that is put into these projects.

Livestock Sale: 4:30 p.m., Awards: 4 p.m. Friday Aug. 5

Fair is close and the animals are ready for a good showing. The livestock program has been very strong with many new members in their first show. The barns are going to be full of high quality animals ready for the sale. Members take part in many educational programs throughout the year including a Market Quality Assurance program that insures that the quality of animals is at their best. Friday night will include an awards show at 4 p.m. that will include the presentation of awards to members that are donated by area businesses. In addition, the Cloverbuds (members between the ages of 6-9) will be having a dress up contest and parade of their orphaned animals between the awards presentation and the sale. The sale is going to start at 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 5 at the 4-H arena located between the beef and swine barns. A buyers appreciation feed will take place during the sale for all buyers and 4-H parents to enjoy. Thank you to all past buyers, without your support the 4-H program would not be such a success.

4-H Food Booth promises great food, great variety.

The 4-H Food Booth is preparing for another great year at the fair. The menus this year is going to include the old favorites. Our flavorful hamburgers, chicken wraps, biscuits and gravy and chicken burgers are among the crowd pleasers from last year and we hope that you have an opportunity to try one or all. The tradition at the 4-H Food Booth is a home cooked meal at a value of a price. If you get hungry, stop by and try one of our items and finish it off with a piece of homemade pie with a scoop of old fashioned ice cream. It just doesn’t get any better than that!!
