On Saturday, April 8th, we are hosting our annual 4-H General Projects Day. This is whenour 4-H youth, who have been working hard all year long, get to show off what they have accomplished. Youth will have the opportunity to participate in conference judging, where they can talk with a judge, share what they have learned, discuss any struggles they had with their project, explain their project, and get some expert feedback. New for this year! Exhibitors can choose to sell their item(s).All exhibits and awards will be on display in the Party Gras building, southwest corner of the Arizona State Fairgrounds, during the fair. Also, during the fair, 4-H staff will host several activities for the public and our 4-H members and volunteers.
