In order to provide lots of great opportunities for our 4-H’ers and keep everything running smoothly, we greatly appreciate support from many volunteers, both youth and adult.  We hope you’ll check out our list of volunteer needs and sign up for something that fits your schedule and abilities.   All volunteers will receive a complimentary foodstand ticket.  Youth who sign up to help on entry day will still have plenty of time to have their own items judged.

The Extension office will be closed July 20 and 27 and located on the fairgrounds between July 21-26. Please call us on our 4-H Cell phone at: 612-719-0295 during the fair.
