2010 NC State Fair

Person County youth excelled at the NC State Fair. The fair just wrapped up and there were a lot of different activities going on between October 14th-24th. Some Person County 4-H youth entered their chickens in the Youth Poultry Show while some entered their meat and dairy goats. Overall, the kids did very well bringing home a lot of different ribbons in the animal contests. But, there were also a few youth that entered a variety of crafts in this year's State Fair, from basket weaving, egg decorating, picture drawing, and other crafts and hobbies. One of the funnest contests is the hay bale decorating contest where 4-H clubs across the state get the chance to decorate a hay bale hoping to win first prize of $375. Person County did not participate this year, but there is always next year. And, if you didn't get a chance to see the county exhibits, then be sure to stop off in the Educational Building next year to see which county won first prize. Person County has to decorate an exhibit booth in 2012 and we are going to need some creative ideas.
