We are doing shoutouts for all of our Jr. Fair 4-H clubs, along with our FFA Clubs and Girl/Boy Scouts in our county! They are the heart of the fair and deserve all the recognition for the hard work that they put in all year between projects, paperwork, booths, the parade, and everything in between.

The third Jr. Fair 4-H club we are posting is Break Away Bandits! “What started in 2026 has already grown into an amazing club of 23 dedicated members who bring passion, leadership, and heart to everything they do. Our members represent a wide variety of projects—from steers, goats, lambs, and pigs to shooting sports, fishing, cooking, and woodworking—showcasing some of the many opportunities that 4-H has to offer.
Our members stay busy not only in 4-H, but also through many other activities and organizations throughout the county, proving that leadership and service extend far beyond club meetings. They are also committed to giving back through community service projects, lending helping hands and making a positive impact in our communities. Our Cloverbuds are an important part of our club family, eagerly participating in hands-on learning activities, building friendships, and discovering new skills along the way.
Through hard work, teamwork, and encouragement, our members continue to support one another while living out the 4-H motto: “To Make the Best Better.”
We are proud of what we’ve built together and excited for all that lies ahead! 🍀💚 “

The second Jr. Fair 4-H club we are posting is Broken Fences. “Broken Fences 4-H Club is made up of 23 amazing youth members. Due to the commitment of the members the club achieves Honor Club status yearly. Members stay involved in many 4-H offered events throughout the year including iron chef, contest day, the overnighter, project judging, fall fest, horse camp, 4-H camp, junior leaders, winter carnival and window decorating. Our members show market and non-market projects including rabbit, chicken, goat, horse, pig and dog. In addition to livestock projects we have many still projects which highlight their knowledge of shooting sports, archery, gardening, scrapbooking, cat care, woodworking and mental health/self care. Members have competed on the state level in animal, still projects and public speaking events also. Outside of project work members participate in community service, serve as members of the junior fair board, are camp counselors, and promote 4-H as a club in local parades. Cloverbuds are an important part of our group. They attend meetings and represent us well at cloverbud activities. Our club is proud of each member and watching their continued growth every year “to make the best better”! We can’t forget the parents and family members who help make this club a success.”

Yearly community service activities including building memorial benches for the fairgrounds.
