Arapahoe County’s 4-H program, which teaches youth hands-on learning and life skills, has long been the ‘heart’ of the Arapahoe County Fair. Local youth spend months preparing projects and animals for the Fair, where they contend for the judges’ nod, prize ribbons and cash premiums.

A visit to the main exhibit hall at the Fair will reveal the terrific handiwork of 4-H home economic and general projects in up to 270 areas, ranging from woodworking and baking to sewing, photography and cake decorating.

Don’t miss the livestock and horse barns, where you’ll see 4-H youth tending to their rabbits, goats, sheep, poultry, cattle and horses.

Spectators are welcome at the many daily 4-H competitions, including livestock and horse shows, a Fashion Revue, a Gymkhana and more.

Show your support on Saturday, July 27 at the Junior Livestock Auction where 4-H youth will sell quality market animals. All proceeds go to individual members to recoup the costs of raising the animal and support their own education.
