PRINCETON – The Bureau County 4-H Fair will take place July 19-21 at the Bureau County Fairgrounds in Princeton. This culminating activity for 4-H youth offers the opportunity for members to display and be judged on the fruits of their labor. Those who have successfully mastered their project area will be selected to advance to the Illinois State Fair, Springfield, on Aug. 11.

Illinois 4-H is the largest out of school youth organization in Illinois, challenging youth to “learn by doing” with fun, hands-on activities that teach skills for living. With over 200 project areas to choose from, youth are sure to find something that fits their interests.
