Washtenaw County 4H has its annual Fair the last week of July. The youth show goes on Monday to Friday and is free for the public to visit. Hours are 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The schedule of events can be found here http://www.ewashtenaw.org/government/departments/extension/ex_ext4hyou.html

The date of events for 2008 should follow past years:

  • Sunday, July 27 Haul In for Horses and Ponies & Protege & Leadline Classes
  • Monday, July 28 Block Building and Fitting & Showing for Horse Kids
  • Tuesday, July 29 Jumping and Dressage Classes and other animals arrive at fair

There are not only the horse classes but also many other animals: chickens, rabbits, goats, pigs, sheep, llamas and cows.

The auction for the animals is Thursday evening and supports the children who have worked with animals all year long. It is a wonderful contribution to our community if you are willing to purchase an animal or half.

The fair is located at the Farm Council Grounds in Lodi Township.
