Fair President's Welcome

Welcome to the 2018 Middlesex New Haven County 4-H Fair! Our amazing set of officers, mentors, and volunteers have been working all year to make the 92nd fair a success. We pride ourselves on being the first fair of its kind in America, which means we are the first fair to be run by youth members. 4-H is an enriching program that teaches youth all around the world leadership skills. Hopefully you can see the benefits of the program when you observe all of the talented 4-H’ers gathered here this year.

I would like to thank all of our volunteers, sponsors, and 4-H’ers for their generous support. Each year our exhibitors spend endless hours preparing the projects that will be on display this weekend. Their dedication and hard work proves the 4-H motto, “Make the Best Better”. I hope you enjoy our fair and visit the livestock projects, Home Arts creations, pulls, entertainers, vendors, and the Durham Fair’s Antique Museum. Stop by and meet the 4-H’ers volunteering their time at the Fair Headquarters.

Sincerely,

Haddie Walters

2018 Middlesex & New Haven County 4-H Fair President
