Fond du Lac County Fair

FAIR ENTRIES DUE SATURDAY, JUNE 12 by 11:59 pm.

Fond du Lac County Fair is celebrating 170 years! Be sure to get your fair entries in for this year's county fair. Entries are due Saturday, June 12! 

For more information on exhibiting at the fair visit: https://www.fonddulaccountyfair.com/p/exhibitor-information. Click here to complete your fair entries: https://fond.fairwire.com/.

Adult Leaders & TLA Foodstand Sign Up

Adult Leader Association Food Stand Schedules Available

These are major fundraisers for the county 4-H program, benefitting all clubs, members, and the communities in which they reside. For the Adult Leader Food Stand, eight to twelve workers are needed per shift. Older teens or adults are needed to sign up to be managers for half a day in the Adult Leader Food Stand. Please note with all the changes the silent auction/raffle tables will be in the Expo building and staffed by the adult leaders stand instead of the TLA stand. There are still 4 time slots to fill.

Teen Leader Association Food Stand

Each 4-H club is asked to secure one adult and 2-3 youth (age 12 or older) volunteers. Shifts may be broken down, so people can work half a shift, then be replaced with another club representative for the other half. There are 10 slots to fill yet!

Time slots for both food stands can be viewed at: https://fonddulac.extension.wisc.edu/events-activities/ under 4-H Fundraising Events. To sign up for a time slot, please contact the office at (920) 929-3171. In the event your first choice is already filled, please have an alternate choice ready. All workers are reminded to wear a hat or tie their hair back.

4-H Graduation

We ask that you please save the date Sunday, July 18, at 2:00 p.m. for 4-H graduation. Recognition is given at this time, rather than at the 4-H Achievement Program in October because some of the graduates are away at college. To help us plan the program and have supplies for graduation, we ask that youth members in grades 12 & 13 please complete a short survey. If you are a grade 12 member but plan on staying in an additional year, please complete the survey as well.

Dairy Project County Fair Updates

Dairy IDs are to be submitted via online through a Google Form by June 12! The information will not only be used to check cattle in at the county fair, but to develop the show book. Please list ALL information requested on the form for a complete book! The link to the google form can be found at https://www.fonddulaccountyfair.com/p/exhibitor-information.

Quality Milk Auction entries are due July 1! Application can be found at https://fyi.extension.wisc.edu/fdldairyyouth/files/2019/06/Quality-Milk-Auction-Entry-updated.pdf. The Quality Milk Auction is open to anyone showing any breed cow which is on a test program for components. I encourage you enter your cows and have an opportunity to qualify for the Quality Milk Auction sale and help to raise funds for yourself and the Dairy Project.

Outstanding Dairy Youth Exhibitor application due July 1! Any Fond du Lac County Fair dairy cattle exhibitor grades 9-13, as of January 1st, may apply for this award. Two award winners will be named who have shown exceptional involvement in the dairy project: $200 cash award for grades 9-10-11 and $300 cash award for grades 12-13. Gift certificates ($25) will be provided to all youth who apply for the award. Cash awards are sponsored by CP Feeds and the Dairy Youth Fund. Applications are available online at https://fyi.extension.wisc.edu/fdldairyyouth/county-fair/.

Dairy Showmanship Requirement: All dairy youth wishing to exhibit at the Fond du Lac County Fair must have attended a showmanship clinic. If you missed the one offered in May, please contact Sarah Loehr at sarahloehr24@hotmail.com on how you may be able to meet this requirement.

Need show whites? The Mahloch Family has a white pair of Wranglers size 8 slim their son wore for dairy showing. If someone can use them, please contact Tina Mahloch at 920-588-7848 or at tmm7806@gmail.com.

If you have any questions regarding the dairy project or the County Fair Jr Dairy Show, please contact a Dairy Project Committee member with contact information found at https://fyi.extension.wisc.edu/fdldairyyouth/committee-contacts-2/.
