It's FUN at the Fair!

Driving along Route 322 in Honey Brook, PA, one can’t miss the hustle and bustle surrounding the 4-H Romano Center during 4-H Fair week!  Summer in Chester County reaches its pinnacle with the Chester County 4-H Fair and there will be plenty of action as county youth proudly display the many projects they have diligently prepared throughout the year.  4-Her’s demonstrate their skill in the handling and care of farm animals including dairy cows, breeding sheep and market lambs, swine, poultry, and horses during the numerous animal shows.  A Livestock Sale of beef, sheep and swine highlights the animal events on Wednesday, August 14 starting at 5pm. Fair week wraps up with the 4-H Horse Show on Saturday, August 17.
In addition to the live animal shows, 4-H youth will display many projects including arts, crafts, service projects, plant science, rocketry & robotics, pet care, photography, sewing, citizenship/leadership, foods & nutrition, wildlife, vegetables & plants, and many other general exhibits.  The tabletop exhibits open Tuesday, August 13 and will remain on display throughout the week. The public is encouraged to visit and see these or any of the live animal shows.  Free tours will be provided for the public on Tuesday, August 13 and Wednesday, August 14, 10 am – 12 pm.  Please call Laurie Szoke at 610-696-3500 to schedule a guided tour in advance.
