Thank you to our Washington County 4-H Volunteers!

A big thank you goes out to all of our Washington County volunteers who fill countless roles each year at the Washington County Fair. Volunteers fill roles in many areas to help the 4-H portion of the fair run smoothly. THANK YOU to all of our livestock committee members, static and contest superintendent and volunteers, pizza stand managers and volunteers, Washington County 4-H Council members and all of the many other hats our volunteers fill in between. We truly could not do it without you and your commitment to making the best better each year for our Washington County youth!
