As the Tillamook County Fair Season ends, Tillamook 4-H is nothing but grateful for the way our community supported us. To every 4-H family, 4-H Leader, Superintendent, FFA Advisors, Fair Board Members, OSU Extension Office, JLAC, our award sponsors, everyone in between, and of course our 4-H’ers, THANK YOU!
This was the first fair for the new Tillamook County 4-H Coordinator, Kayla Feist, and it was absolutely amazing. That great experience came directly from all the support offered from everyone listed above. 4-H and FFA kids worked incredibly hard, and that showed in the showrings! Our 4-H Exhibit Hall and pre-fair contests also deserve a special shout-out for all of their hard work.
Here are some highlights from this year’s fair:
Molly, Kate, and Natalia all went above and beyond during fair week, earning gift baskets to recognize their hard work.
Desi Josi celebrated 50 years of dedicated 4-H volunteer service with her club, Fairview!
Our Herdsmanship winners got banners, and the overall club gets to go on a field trip.
