2009 Rural Youth Fair

 
 
 
The 2009 4-H Rural Youth Fair will be a celebration of the Island 4-H Year. Members, join us in showing off the successes of your year, and demonstrate to one another and the community how you 'learned to do by doing'. The community is invited to attend, and share in congratulating members for a job well done. 
The 59th Annual Rural Youth Fair is to be held at the Dundas Plowing Match and Agricultural Fair Grounds, in beautiful Eastern PEI.
 
If you have more questions about the various 4-H projects and classes, please contact the 4-H Office.
