Our club projects are structured around the categories available to be exhibited at the Hartford County 4-H Fair in August of each year. Our projects include: creative arts and writing, first aid kits and essays, veterinary science boards, public speaking and photography exhibits. All projects are judged and prizes are awarded for junior and senior age groups. We encourage all members to exhibit their projects at the County 4-H Fair. 4-H members must complete all projects independently.
