New Family Fair Orientation

To help new families understand this process better, a new family fair orientation will be held in Wednesday, June 5 at 6 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, a fair board member and  4-H volunteer, will be leading this orientation. Please Register by  Friday, May 31, 2024.

4-H Adult Leaders Raffle Audit

The Adult Leaders Raffle was audited on Wednesday, May 22. Please note the following updates below based on the audit. If you would like to sell additional tickets there are some extras in the office. Please reach out to make arrangements for additional tickets.


Updates for the Adult Leaders Raffle

  • Please check over your ticket stubs - watch for only one name on a ticket, and it needs to be filled out completely.
  • Address labels are allowed if it fits within the stub, and only one sticker is used. Be sure it states only one person on the sticker.
  • Time of the raffle drawing will be printed on the tickets in the future
  • The Biggest violation is no prizes/awards of any kind can be given to top sellers as incentives. This is effective immediately as this violated the state constitution and would result in loss of license. This is directly from the website: (No salaries, fees or profit shall be paid to any other organization or individual in connection with the operation of a raffle. You may not pay anyone in regards to a raffle or give incentives to sellers or supporters.) 
  • In the future, we will need to be very specific on what money is being raised for. (Raffle profits may not be used to benefit an individual or purpose not noted in your organization’s purpose. For example; a school may not raise funds to donate to the American Family Children Hospital or an individual student, teacher, or parent.)
