County fair should be a time of fun, but youth can never be too careful when it comes to strangers. Before fair sit down youth your youth and talk with them about what they should do when talking or interacting with older youth or adults they do not know.

Some suggestions include:

1. Have your youth tell you (their parent) or a trusted adult where they are going.
   
2. Youth should always have a buddy and avoid being along with someone they do not know.
3. Remind them to not reveal too much about themselves to people they do not know, no matter how friendly the person may be.
4. Tell them that making a decision to leave a situation where they feel uncomfortable or unsafe can be hard and scary. But ask them to tell you (their parent) or a trusted adult about what happened and who was there.

Again this year, youth who are doing an exceptional job at maintaining a clean barn and keeping animals feed and watered for their animals and helping out other 4-Hers with their animals can be nominated for a Herdsmanship Award. Parents, club leaders, and 4-H’ers may nominate youth for this award along with a sentence or two about why they are nominating them. These Herdsmanship Awards will be presented during the premium sale.

All non-livestock projects will be checked in for judging on Monday, July 29 from 5-7pm at the fairgrounds. Please plan ahead and have entry tags filled out before arriving at the fairgrounds.
