4-H is a community of young people across Kansas engaged in learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. Caring adults who support our programs are essential for youth to achieve their potential based on the guidance, respect, skills, knowledge, and wisdom adults can share.

4-H is a nationwide program. Each of the four H's of the clover represent ways youth can grow and develop.

* H ead, critical thinking, problem solving;
* H eart, self-discipline, integrity, communication;
* H ands, serving others; and
* H ealth, choosing healthy lifestyles. In 4-H, youth have fun with a purpose!

Our friends in Johnson County 4-H shared this sentiment, and it goes for Douglas County too!

Did you receive a special award, trophy or prize at the Fair? Did a buyer support you at the Project or Livestock Auction? Please take a moment to write the sponsor a thank-you note. Hand-written notes are not out of style. A heartfelt thank-you lets sponsors know their generosity is valued and helps build the lasting relationships that make future sponsorships possible.
I will add that if you had a mentor, club or project leader, parent or superintendent that contributed to your successes at the Douglas County Fair also drop them a card!

Static exhibits have been checked in and consulted! We can’t wait for everyone to come admire all the wonderful things on display👀
Wondering why “consulted” and not “judged?” While open class works slightly differently, 4-Hers have the (highly encouraged) option of consultative judging on their project. A 4-Her’s entry into the fair is the culmination of their year of project work, and consultative judging gives them the opportunity to have discussion with the judge, sharing skills gained, and taking advantage of the knowledge and experience of their judge in a one-on-one conversation 💪🍀"
