Kalamazoo County Fair 2010

MSU Extension would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to the 4-H activities during the 2010 Kalamazoo County Fair, August 9-14. The 4-H members of Kalamazoo County have put in countless hours into their projects to show during the fair. The Fair has plenty to offer each and every visitor; from the numerous animals to the carnival and every unique exhibit in between, the Kalamazoo County Fair allows visitors one special week a year to experience the many projects and learn from the county's youth.

While involved in 4-H, members set project or activity goals and personally assess the results at the end of their project. Members learn from one another, especially during the Kalamazoo County Fair and preparations for the fair. The older members teach younger members how to show a variety of animals and project skills, how to make a craft and how to develop their project record books. Throughout the year, youth choose the material to be covered at meetings and clinics. Constantly youth learn to make decisions as a group and to help one another.

Please join the 4-H members at the Kalamazoo County Fair and ask them what they learned. They will be happy to share those experiences with you. Learn more about animals, agriculture and youth activities in Kalamazoo.
