Dear Family, Friends, and Neighbors,
We are excited to celebrate the 2026 Clinton County 4-H & Youth Fair! The fair motto is:“Where Friends Meet and Memories Are Made”
The Fair is a time-honored tradition that showcases the talents, dedication, and leadership of our 4-H and FFA members and youth in Clinton County. It’s also a true community effort—a time to recognize the hard work of our youth and the legacy of volunteers and leaders who came before us.
As you walk through the fairgrounds, we invite you to take a moment to appreciate the rich history preserved by our community.
