The Taylor County Fair Board is excited to expand the Future 4-Her show to provide new opportunities to the Future 4-Her's and current 4-Her's in our county.

The Future 4-Her show will now take place after the swine, sheep, goat show and in between the beef shows.

In conjunction with the show, the Taylor County Extension Office is offering the Future 4-Her mentor and mentee program this summer.

Future 4-Her's do not need a mentor to show, but the opportunity to be paired with one is an option.

Registration is required for these shows and are due to the Extension Office by July 14. If you have any questions about the Future 4-Her Show or the mentor program, please contact Kristen at the Extension Office at [email protected] or (712) 523-2137.

Throughout Wyatt's time in 4-H, he's learned many lessons on leadership, responsibility, how to work with others and how to communicate. His various livestock projects taught him how to have an effective work ethic.

"While being a 4-H member, I hope I was able to show others an area of my life that I am passionate about and hoped to have helped others along the way," said Wyatt.

Time spent at the Taylor County Fair having water fights, playing baseball and football amongst the campers are some of Wyatt's favorite memories of 4-H.

Wyatt will be attending Southwestern Community College for one year before transferring to Iowa State University to major in agriculture.

🌟Congratulations, Wyatt on such a successful and impactful time in 4-H. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!
