UMN Extension Beltrami County 4-H

09/04/2026

General Encampment at the Minnesota State Fair (September 1st to 3rd) was buzzing with excitement, and Beltrami County 4‑H youth were right in the middle of it. They jumped into every activity with big smiles, bold creativity, and unstoppable enthusiasm — showing off the spirit that makes our county shine.

We’re proud of every youth who represented Beltrami County 4‑H at the State Fair — your dedication, creativity, and enthusiasm shine bright
