100th Middlesex & New Haven County 4-H Fair COME CELEBRATE!!
Welcome to our 4-H Fair!
I am honored to welcome you to this exciting and meaningful 100th fair. My name is Holly Andrews, and I am proud to serve as president of the 2026 Middlesex & New Haven County 4-H Fair
The 4-H fair is more than just a tradition—it is a celebration of hard work, learning, and growth. Throughout the year, our members have dedicated countless hours to developing new skills, completing projects, and giving back to their communities. From livestock, crafts, and leadership, each exhibit you see here represents commitment, creativity, and perseverance.
4-H teaches us the importance of responsibility, teamwork, and service. It encourages us to step outside our comfort zones, try new things, and become confident leaders. Fair is our opportunity to showcase not only what we have accomplished, but also what we have learned along the way.
I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our leaders, volunteers, parents, and sponsors who make this fair possible. Your support and guidance inspire us to do our best and continue growing each year.
To our guests and community members, thank you for joining us and supporting 4-H. We hope you enjoy exploring the exhibits, meeting our members, and experiencing the spirit of 4-H firsthand.
As we celebrate this year’s fair, let us remember the 4-H pledge—to use our heads, hearts, hands, and health to make the best better.
