Enter the 4-H Youth Craft Fair By October 29 at Noon

We are excited to announce the North Carolina 4-H Virtual Craft Fair. Each year our 4-H'ers have the opportunity to showcase the crafts they have made all year at their local fairs and or the NC State Fair. Since many of the fairs are canceled as well as the NC State Fair due to the pandemic, we are excited to offer this opportunity to our 4-H'ers.

• Items must be made January 1, 2020 to October 30, 2020

North Carolina 4-H will share the winners sometime during the first week of December along with the winners from the 4-H Hay Bale Fun.
