🐄 These 4-H kids came to the Board yesterday and talked with us about the Routt County Fair.

They have spent the year raising livestock, building projects, and practicing. Now they want all of us to attend!

This year’s fair theme is celebrating “the bounty of Routt County.” Bounty means more than hay bales and blue-ribbon zucchini. It’s the abundance of talent in our youth, the generosity of our neighbors, and the deep wells of tradition passed down from one generation to the next.

This year’s theme invites us all to pause and recognize just how much this valley gives us, and how much we give back to it. 🌾

112 years running. August 7 through 16 in Hayden. Mark your calendar. Bring your people. See you there! 🐷 routtcountyfair.org
