Lancaster County 4-H, the Lancaster County Agricultural Society and Lancaster Event Center staff recently agreed to a plan for 4-H/FFA participation at the Lancaster County Super Fair to be a blend of virtual and in-person entries. A survey of 4-H parents, youth and volunteers helped guide the decision (305 people completed the survey). Fair in-person events are pending approval from the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department. Current plans for the 4-H & FFA events scheduled for July 30–Aug. 2 are as follows:
VIRTUAL:
• Static exhibit entry and judging.
• Contests (including Table Setting, Fashion Show, etc.).
• Clover Kids Show & Tell.
• Cat and Household Pets shows.
• Dog show will likely be changed to a Skill-a-Thon.
IN-PERSON:
• Livestock, rabbits, poultry and horse shows will be show & go (animals are brought in, shown and leave immediately following the show). Animal show may change date and location from what is printed in the Fair Book.
CANCELED:
• Static exhibit interview judging.
• Animal herdsmanship and stall decorations.
• 4-H Council’s Food Stand and Chicken Dinner.
• Lancaster County Ag Society’s Exhibitor Breakfast
