🎡💚 Merced County Fair 2026 💚🎡
What an incredible week at the Merced County Fair! We are beyond proud of each and every member of Merced River 4-H for their hard work, dedication, responsibility, and positive attitudes throughout the week.
From early mornings, to late nights, these kids showed commitment, sportsmanship, and a true passion for their projects. The countless hours spent preparing, learning, and caring for their animals and exhibits were evident in everything they accomplished.
Whether they brought home ribbons, awards, or simply gained valuable experience, each member should be proud of what they achieved. The lessons learned, friendships made, and memories created will last far beyond fair week.
A huge thank you to our leaders, volunteers, parents, buyers, and supporters who help make these opportunities possible. We are honored to watch these young people grow into hardworking, respectful, and capable leaders.
Congratulations, Merced River 4-H! We are proud of each and every one of you! 💚🍀🐄🐖🐐🐑
