Special thank you to the UW Meat Lab and Cowboy Branded Meats for hosting us this week! Several 4-H members had the opportunity to learn about hams evaluation and see the facilities at the University of Wyoming. Thank you as well to 307 Meat Company and Kyle Phillips for the tour of their plant. We loved learning all about animal harvest and meat processing!

The 4-H program is near and dear to my heart. My Grandmother was a leader for my mom and her siblings. My mom and dad were leaders when my siblings and I were members. Asa and I met in 4-H, and now we have the opportunity to be Leaders for our kids and others in the program.

The 4-H year all comes together with the county fair at the end of the Summer. Farmhand 1 will lead the Cloverbuds (future 4-H members) to their end-of-year presentation; Farmhand 2 will have a welding project to show; Farmhand 3 will show Archie & maybe Windsor; and Farmhand 4 finally gets to join the rest in exhibiting projects and showing animals.

The Middle Park Fair & Rodeo is one of Grand County's longest-running events. This year marks 110 years of the Fair. The Fair brings the community together for 4-H Exhibits and shows, Rodeos, an exhibit hall, events, and this year an Old West Cattle drive to kick off the week.

4-H members across the county, including the Farmhands, are now working to secure sponsors for the events in Kremmling, July 26-August 9.

The Middle Park Fair & Rodeo is a non-profit event powered by the generosity of our neighbors. Your sponsorship does the heavy lifting:

* It powers the facilities that keep our animals safe and our guests comfortable.
* It funds the awards that recognize the hard work of our young 4-H and FFA leaders.
* It creates the memories that families talk about for generations.

Whether you become a Buckle Sponsor ($125) honoring a champion or a Grand Champion Sponsor ($15,000) leading the charge, you are the reason this valley tradition survives. Join us in 2026. If you are interested in having a 4-H member come talk to you about sponsorship opportunities, comment here, and we’ll be in touch. Or if you are ready to sponsor, you can fill out this form to get the process started.

The deadline to be included in the printed Fair Book is April 1, so act fast! 1,500 copies of the Fair Book are printed and distributed in Grand and Summit Counties.
