2008
ARAPAHOE COUNTY FAIR!
It's not too early to begin planning for
the Arapahoe County Fair, which will take place July 23-27, 2008.
(Judging is on the 21st so mark your calendar now for interview
judging.) All HPWT Youth raisers are highly encouraged to
participate--aside from being a lot of fun and a chance for ribbons,
the Fair provides valuable life experiences in interview skills and
record keeping, and preparing a report. Plus, participation is a vital
step in applying for 4-H and GDB scholarships and internships, as well
as being a valuable addition to college applications. Click here for pointers in getting
started on your fair project and photos of past year's projects. Visit Arapahoe
County 4-H here. Fair books and entry forms will be mailed out
closer to the date of the fair. (If you will be out of town during the
week of the fair, it's even more important to start early, so your
project will be finished in time for another participant or leader to
take your entry in for you!). Call
Carmen if you have questions.
