As you're going through clothes that have been outgrown this month, be sure to pull out those "show clothes" that someone else might be able to use! You can drop off items to the Extension Office, Glenn's Market and both the Newark and Johnstown TSC locations throughout the month of October! Help us to collect items for the "Show Threadz Clothes Closet" at the 2027 Hartford Fair!

Junior Fair Board applications are NOW AVAILABLE!
Keep in mind, JFB members don't have to show livestock at the fair! They just need to be enrolled in 4-H or FFA and have an exhibit on display in the 4-H / FFA Building!

2027 Hartford Junior Fair Board application is NOW AVAILABLE!

We're hoping to add several new teen leaders to our team this fall! Application deadline is November 15! Members must be 4-H or FFA member and at least 14 years old as of 1/1/2027. JFB Members are required to have an exhibit at the 2027 fair, but it can be either livestock or still exhibit in 4-H / FFA Building.
