There’s just something special about 4-H kids.

The way they show up early and stay late. The way they treat their animals with patience and love. The way they shake hands, look you in the eye, and go out of their way to help a stranger.

They’ve learned responsibility before many kids their age. They know hard work isn’t something to avoid, it’s something to be proud of.

They’ve been up before sunrise, worked through heat and dust and setbacks, and smiled when it was time to show, because they’ve put in the time, and they care.

They learn confidence, compassion, strength, endurance, kindness, humility, patience and so much more, way before they even learn to drive a car.

They cheer for their friends, even when they’re competing against them. They take a loss with grace and a win with humility. They don’t just learn about livestock or baking or photography, they learn about life.

And when the fair is over and the ribbons are packed away, what stays with them is the grit, the gratitude, and the lessons that
4-H helped grow, the kind that turn kids into capable, compassionate adults.

There’s something special about 4-H kids. And if you’ve raised one (or been one), you know exactly what I mean.

Let’s fill the bleachers at the Deuel County Fairgrounds on July 30th &31st!!

We fill the bleachers on Friday nights for football. We fill the bleachers on cold winter nights for basketball. We travel miles and miles, to sit in the bleachers for volleyball, baseball, softball, gymnastics, and dance.

Our 4-H families would like to invite you to fill the bleachers on a warm summer day in the coming weeks and watch the kids who practice with a 1400 pound steer that doesn’t always want to walk, a 140 pound lamb that doesn’t want to get on the stand for the 100th time, a 280 pound hog that just wants to stay in the cool barn or a stubborn goat that doesn’t like the chain.

Come check out the Exhibit Hall and Hall of Champions for static entries. Those kids have heart and dedication and put hours into their creations. There are cakes, pies, cookies, photographs, constructed clothing, entomology exhibits, rockets, artwork, quilts, and more!

Let’s fill the bleachers, barns, and buildings to show these kids that their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed and because of them, the future of the agriculture and leadership is in good hands.
