Event to be held July 31 & Aug. 1 at Howell Living History Farm
Showcase your creative talents and skills at this year’s Mercer County 4-H Fair! There are many “Open Division” categories for public entries (youth and adult) – you do not need to be a 4-H member to exhibit. Any project created this past year can be entered in the fair, including arts and crafts, photography, gardening, clothing, woodworking and more.
Please visit http://mercer.njaes.rutgers.edu/4h/fair, where you will find more details about exhibiting at the fair and a complete schedule. Projects will be received from the general public for entry in the fair on Thursday and Friday, July 29-30, from 3 to 7pm at Howell Living History Farm in Hopewell Township. New this year, fairgoers will vote on their favorite exhibits in each category on Saturday, July 31, and those receiving the most votes will be recognized on Sunday, August 1. The annual Mercer County 4-H Fair is an inspirational community event showcasing the talents of the general public as well as those of 4-H members.
