County & State Fair Update I know there have been a lot of questions surrounding county and statefair. There are a couple of important dates I want to highlight. Weanticipate the county will let us know what the fair format will look likeby June 1. The decision on state fair will happen by July 1. If county fair is unable to occur due to regulations in regards toCOVID=19, please know the extension office has already been workingwith a team of volunteers to bring forth two alternative plans which mayinclude a 4-H Exhibition or a 4-H Virtual Show based on whatregulations will allow. These options will only happen if county fair is notpresented in a traditional format. This is a fluid situation so pleaseunderstand we will need to be flexible at this time. Please know that I am always available to answer questions andconcerns, feel free to email at [email protected]. -Emily Tobler,CSU Extension 4-H Livestock Agent
