NYS Fair

We have been working diligently to offer a Virtual Event and recognition to celebrate our youth and the positive Youth Development that happens at the New York State Fair. Although we are sad that we are not there in person we are excited to be able to share the great things happening across NYS on our website, Facebook and other social media platforms. Join us for some exciting LIVE presentation, sign up to join our robotics challenge, tune it for an hour of code or just sit back and enjoy the slide shows featuring project submissions from across NYS.

All of the slide shows and information about the next couple of weeks can be found on our webpage: https://nys4-h.org/2021-nys-4h-virtual-state-fair?rq=Virtual

Please note that additional items or activities may be added throughout the Virtual Fair time frame, so check back often to see if there is something new. Additionally, this information has been shared through 4-H Online and all the FB LIVE videos will be uploaded to the webpage for others to view/share as appropriate.

You can also find us and watch our LIVE hands-on activities via FB: https://www.facebook.com/NYS4H
