Next week begins the Ford County Fair (July 6-12) and then the Iroquois County Fair the following week (July 16-21). We hope that you come out and join us at one or both of the fairs. While you are there take a look around at all the great projects, enjoy delicious food from the 4-H Food Stands, and stop by and say hello.
