The annual McIntosh County 4-H & Youth Development exhibition hosted by the OSU Cooperative Extension Service will take place at the McIntosh County Fairgrounds Aug. 22-25.

Exhibitors must be a resident of McIntosh County to enter.

4-H Club work in Oklahoma was first exhibited 1910, which makes this the 106th year of 4-H involvement.

The Fair exhibits have been an important part of the 4-H Youth Development Educational Program, allowing young people the incentive to achieve and then to be recognized for outstanding achievement.

The major goal of 4-H is the individual development of youth in personal, leadership and positive citizenship skills expressed throughout life in the home, school, state, nationally and internationally.

The 4-H exhibits and activities are planned to reflect the many phases of 4-H and the use of projects in the development of boys and girls.

The public is invited to visit the 4-H exhibits to observe the accomplishments of 4-H youth.
