Wanting to help out with the 4-H Fair but not sure what you can do? We have just the thing!

We need people to watch the 4-H Exhibit Hall each night. Exhibit Hall Watchers sign up for one-hour time slots (or more if you like) and help supervise the 4-H static exhibits each evening. You do not have to have a partner this year, nor do you need to be an approved volunteer to work as a watcher. Sign up for as many open time slots as you want!

If you are interested in helping out, please sign up by clicking the link provided. For more information, please call the Extension Office at 812-738-4236.
