4-H Families at the Fair 2024 - needs to be updated
Welcome 4-H families. Here you find information specific to 4-H members and their parents - from volunteering opportunities to Tricky Tray to parking info. We can't wait to see you at the fair!
All Morris County 4-H members in grades K-13 are invited to participate and enter their art, craft or science project, knitting, photos, plants, models, sewing, food, and more in the 4-H Fair on the Farm event. Some things are open to active 4-H members from that club or project area and other divisions are open to all members, or even adults associated with Morris County 4-H (alumni, leaders/volunteers, parents).
You can also sign up for the 4-H Quiz Bowls and the Talent Show, plus clubs can enter their club display and earn a ribbon as well. Most Entry Forms were due on July 9. Visit the Fair Entries page for the entry drop-off schedule and more details.
It takes many helpers to help put the fair together - before, during, and after. Please visit the Volunteer at the Fair page to see what you can do at Set-up, during the fair, as well as take-down and clean-up. THANK YOU!
Ask your favorite business or friends and family to help sponsor the Fair. See the Sponsorship Levels and form as well as on the Sponsorship Page: https://www.morris4h.org/4-h-fair/fair-sponsorship for more information. The tax deductible donations will help pay for the Fair as well as 4-H programs and events throughout the year. Thank you!

Parking Pass
A parking pass will be available to all current and active 4-H families. They will be sent out via 4HOnline in a news flash before the Fair and can be shown at the entrance to the parking area when you arrive during fair hours. The parking fee - a suggested donation of $5 per car - helps offset the cost of the Fair.
