The Monongalia County 4-H Program is excited to exhibit 4-H members’ projects at the 2023 Monongalia County Fair. In order to exhibit, youth enrolled as regular
4-H members will complete and turn in 4-H exhibits to the Monongalia County Center (building where the Extension Office is, first floor, back of building) at Mylan Park during 4-H exhibit check-in. (Project books will be due to the Extension Office by May 26, 2023). 4-H members may also drop off non-food exhibits at the Extension Office the week before the Fair, July 24-28, between 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
The goal of 4-H is to develop citizenship, leadership and life skills of youth through hands-on learning programs. The 4-H name represents four personal development areas of focus for the organization: head, heart, hands and health. Although typically thought of as an agriculturally focused organization as a result of its history, 4-H today focuses on citizenship, healthy living and science, engineering and technology programs.
4-H exhibit check-in will be at the Monongalia County Center (building where the Extension Office is, first floor, back of building) on Sunday, July 30, 2023 from 12:00-2:00 PM. 4-H exhibits can be picked-up the Saturday night of the Fair. All exhibits that are not picked up on Saturday night will be transported to the Extension Office and must be picked-up the week following the fair at the Extension Office by 4-H Club Leaders, who will then distribute exhibits to club members. Food exhibits will be thrown away and project books and ribbons will be returned to members/club leaders. The club leaders will be given the projects, so please pick-up exhibits from your club leaders, if they are not picked-up at the Fair on Saturday night.

The Monongalia County 4-H Program is not responsible for any damage to the exhibits- please use your best judgment when creating exhibits for the Fair by not using heirloom or valuable materials.
NOTE: Morgantown North Rotary Club and the Monongalia County Fair want to recognize the most outstanding 4-H indoor exhibitor as Best of Show. This annual competition is for 4-H’ers who display their projects at the Mylan Park Event Center during the Monongalia County Fair. Exhibitors who complete a non-livestock project are eligible for the award. The award is named after Roby Young, who has contributed so much to the advancement of 4-H in Monongalia County and has also demonstrated the highest community service attributes of Rotary. The 4-H Best of Show award would focus on the indoor entries, providing a special incentive for members to finish their projects and have high quality exhibits.
