The Shelby County 4-H Fair opened for another year of showmanship and celebration on Monday evening. Several vendors and booths were on display with barns full of animals and projects being shown over the next several days. The Shelby County 4-H Fair provides another exciting time for local youth to put their hard work to the test and be rewarded for their efforts.

Tucker Hoyt, Shelby County 4-H member, discusses a project of his that highlights his creative writing skills. Hoyt has focused this year’s theme on the value of time, and using it meaningfully moving forward.

Sarina Voegel talks about her pigs that are being shown. Now in her 10th year, Voegel has narrowed her sights on taking the very best care of her animals.

Gauge Sloan has had a very successful start to the Shelby County 4-H Fair, winning grand or reserve champion in multiple categories. Sloan tells of his favorite animal to show among the ducks, beef cattle, and chickens, that he has raised.
