The community workshop days are tons of fun. So many projects; many friends and helpers gathered to work together; skills to practice and new skills to learn; good stuff happening for community service! Come one day, all three days, or somewhere in-between. If you're staying all day, please bring a sack lunch.
The Floral Designs workshop will assist you in making a project for the fair. There is still time to register. Call the Extension Office at 402-267-2205.
Fair Cleanup - Saturday, August 5th at 9:00 am
We understand you have last minute things to do to get fair projects ready, but please make time to join other Cass County 4-Hers and families at the fairgrounds to prepare the barns and grounds for your animals and exhibits. Don’t assume someone else will be doing it. Clean up and set up doesn’t just happen by themselves. What needs to be prepared?
- The livestock barn
- The horse barn
- The small animal barn
- The 4-H Building
- the 4-H Office
- The grounds
Bring a broom, bucket, rags, rake and gloves
When the place is ready, we will celebrate with root beer floats, and have a sense of pride for how great our fairgrounds look for this 50th year celebration.
