The county fair is an opportunity for kids to strut their stuff and 4H clubs throughout the U.S. give them the tools and leadership skills to succeed. I love that we’re in a community that fosters active 4H involvement. The young exhibitors at the Clallam County Fair did a spectacular job showing their animals and projects.
They start ’em young. Having been a city kid for much of my life I’m impressed that children this size are perfectly at ease with critters bigger than they are.
The Fair is a chance for some fun, too. The kids costumed goats, above, and dogs and horses. The animals showed remarkable patience but it’s clear they’re also showered with love and care.
We just had our local fair as well, and marveled at the 4H kids. It takes place in the next town over, so I did not photograph it for the blog, but am thinking of adding a “Field Trip Friday” or similar feature so I can include things like this! 🙂
Throughout the US, and Canada too. I’ll see them at our upcoming local fair also.
What a great way to foster animal care and fun times for children of all ages.
