New Family Fair Orientation To help new families understand the fair process better, a new family fair orientation will be held on Monday, June 12, 5 pm at the Fond du Lac County Fairgrounds. Topics covered are: entering projects at the fair, important dates to remember, how judging works at the fair, and answering any questions families may still have. There will also be a short tour of the fairgrounds to help first-year families know where things are judged and what to expect. Karen Albert, fair board member and 4-H volunteer, will lead this orientation.
If interested please register here: https://forms.gle/gLXidiKVUm6SrGhx6. Please register by Sunday, June 11 by 11:59 pm. Karen will then know how many people to expect. We also encourage you to submit questions ahead of time, so Karen can be sure to follow up with others if she doesn’t have an answer.
