The 74th Atlantic County 4-H Fair kicks off Friday, August 11th, at the David C. Wood 4-H Center & Fairgrounds on Route 50 in Mays Landing. The 4-H Fair is a celebration of the accomplishments of our 4-H members who have worked throughout the year learning more about their 4-H project and themselves through their club and other 4-H educational experiences.

The public is invited to enjoy the 4-H projects and demonstrations during the upcoming Atlantic County 4-H Fair, that highlight the variety of “maker” activities they engage in all year round. Projects in the main building include all the “traditional” 4-H projects like baking, preserving, arts & crafts, and fine arts but also robotics, STEM, and model railroad – all very much a part of the maker movement. Throughout the fairgrounds, examples are found in the small engines, composting, and other projects.

The Fair still brings the feeling of an "old-time country fair," which is now a new experience for many as our county has fewer rural areas. They can see and interact with animals, watch shows, demonstrations, and musical acts, and look forward to the amusement rides. They can take part in Saturday’s public events – the Baby Parade, Pet Parade, and Pie Eating Contest – and each of the two days of Fair talk to members and volunteers. There is something for everyone!
