🎉 Junior Fair entries and judging (non-animal) are off to a fantastic start!

Year after year, I am amazed by the creativity, talent, and dedication of our young exhibitors. From sewing and woodworking to photography, baking, crafts, and so much more, each project reflects hours of learning, hard work, and passion.

Just as inspiring is the incredible support of parents, volunteers, mentors, and caring adults who encourage our youth to discover and grow their sparks. Your guidance helps make these accomplishments possible!

Be sure to visit the Columbia County fair this week to explore the Junior Fair exhibits, celebrate the creativity of our young people, and see firsthand what they've accomplished. Their hard work deserves to be recognized!

🌟 Come celebrate the next generation of makers, creators, and leaders—we can't wait to share their amazing work
