Olmsted County 4-H News
July, 2022
4-H at the Olmsted County Fair
All county fair exhibitors received a separate county fair email today. If you are planning to bring projects but did not receive this email, please contact the office. Either there was a glitch in you receiving it (it happens) or something is missing from your registration. Either way we want to make sure we have everything ready for you at fair and that you are fully informed on this year's event.
Reminder: All previously shared fair information can be found in the "4-H at the Olmsted County Fair" section on our 4-H webpage.
