Congratulations to the Lancaster County 4-H’ers who showcased their projects at the 2020 Nebraska State Fair! Due to COVID-19, the State Fair was modified to focus primarily on showcasing 4-H & FFA events and exhibits.
4-H static exhibits were displayed in booths by county — but not judged, though some exhibits were selected for special recognition and best of show! 4-H contests and animal shows were held in-person during the first weekend of the State Fair.
Here are the Lancaster County 4-H youth winners of purple ribbons, special recognition and other special awards. Complete results are online at http://www.nebraska4hresults.com.
