Washtenaw County 4H has its annual Fair the last week of July. It is time to sign up for the 4H Show this summer!

The youth show goes on Monday to Friday and is free for the public to visit. Hours are 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
A recent year's programming has included
- Haul In for Horses and Ponies & Protege & Leadline Classes
- Block Building and Fitting & Showing for Horse Kids
- Jumping and Dressage Classes and other animals arrive at fair
- Western Horse Riding Classes & Saddleseat Classes
- English Horse Riding Classes
- Gaming with the Speed Horses showing their stuff- lots of fun to watch!
There are not only the horse classes but also many other animals: chickens, rabbits, goats, pigs, sheep, llamas and cows.
The auction for the animals is Thursday evening and supports the children who have worked with animals all year long. It is a wonderful contribution to our community if you are willing to purchase an animal or half.
The fair is located at the Farm Council Grounds in Lodi Township.
