180 Years of the Ashtabula County Fair!
Who We Are
We are the youth group that plans, conducts and evaluates various activities of the Junior Fair
The Junior Fair Board is organized with representation from Junior Fair youth group participants, including 4-H, FFA, Grange, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and is responsible for planning, conducting and evaluating various activities of the Junior Fair. The Junior Fair Board is accountable to the Senior Fair Board. The Junior Fair Board may have advisors representing the various youth groups participating. Perspective members must be 15 by December 31 to apply for membership. Applications are available during the fair at the Junior Fair office in the MAC Arena or from the OSU Extension office at other times. Applications are due September 1st.
The county fair is a week filled with many activities and judging events. In order to receive a fair pass, members MUST EXHIBIT their projects in some way. Members can exhibit their projects through livestock judging events, club display booths, and the clothing style revue. The fair is the biggest display of Ashtabula County 4-H of the year and provides a lot of fun events and a chance to meet many new people. It is an excellent opportunity to show the general public what 4-H is all about. Attendance or exhibiting at the fair is not required for a member to complete a 4-H project; it is only required in order to receive a fair pass.
