\n\t\t\t\tAs we begin a new 4-H year, youth and volunteers across San Juan County are already planning projects, developing leadership skills, and preparing for another year of growth, learning, and service.\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A New 4-H Year Begins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For many people, the county fair is what first comes to mind when they think about 4-H. The fair is certainly an exciting part of the program, but it represents just a small portion of the learning that takes place throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we begin another 4-H year, we are excited to welcome returning families and those joining us for the first time. Whether your interests include livestock, photography, robotics, citizenship, gardening, shooting sports, public presentations, or leadership, 4-H provides opportunities for youth to learn by doing while developing confidence, responsibility, and life skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for helping make San Juan County 4-H a vibrant and welcoming community. We look forward to another year of learning and growth together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank You for a Great 2026 Fair<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before looking ahead, we’d like to thank everyone who contributed to another successful San Juan County Fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From youth exhibitors and volunteers to superintendents, judges, buyers, parents, fair staff, and community supporters, countless individuals worked together to create meaningful experiences for our members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fair showcases the hard work and dedication of our youth, but it is also a celebration of the community that supports them throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for investing your time, talents, and encouragement into San Juan County 4-H.<\/p>\n\n\n

4-H Is More Than Fair<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many community members see 4-H during fair week, but the exhibits, demonstrations, livestock projects, and presentations represent months of learning and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the year, members:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
