16th Annual Erath County Youth Fair Results Erath County 4-Hers showed off their talents and heart recently at the 16th annual

Youth Fair held in conjunction with the Erath County Junior Livestock Show. Over 400 items were entered in the Youth Fair

In addition to having their items judged, 4-H clubs made baskets filled with different themed goodies to raffle. This year proceeds benefit Erath County United Way. It is a great way for 4-H to give back to the community.

Sponsors for the 2020 Youth Fair were Andy’s Tire Service, Bruner Auto Family, Easter Heat and Air, Erath Farm Bureau Insurance, First Financial Bank, Hubbard Orthodontics, Integrity Financial Services, Prime Building Components, Stephenville Evening Lion’s Club, United Cooperative, VB Orthopedics PA, Texas Bank, Lonestar Ag Credit, and AgTexas Farm Credit Services. Thanks to their sponsorship, 4-Hers were able to earn prize money for winning Best of Show, first, second, or third place on their projects.

Erath County 4-H Clubs

Enrolled 4-H Members can be a part of multiple clubs at their discretion. However, you must select a Primary Club during enrollment.

It is advised to call the Club Manager to check for time and/or location changes if this is your first time attending!

Provisions from the American Disability Act will be considered when planning educational programs and activities. Please notify the Erath County Extension Office as far in advance of the program as possible if you plan on at- tending an Extension Educational program and require specialized services. This will allow ample time to acquire resources to meet your needs. Extension programs serve people of all ages regardless of socioeconomic level, race, color, sex, religion, disability or national origin. The Texas A & M University System, U.S. Department o f
