Showcasing the Future of Kansas at the Kansas State Fair
A huge thank you to all our extension professionals, volunteers, and members for signing up to volunteer to help at the Kansas State Fair. Just like county fairs, the state fair would not be a success without you! Your time, energy, and dedication are what make this experience meaningful for every youth who participates.
Every year, Kansas 4-H showcases the future of Kansas at the Kansas State Fair. This year, let’s be purposeful and take time to be a sponge and soak up all the sights and sounds of youth, showcasing their passions, talents, and growth. Let’s take pride in the stories unfolding around us—stories of perseverance, creativity, and leadership. Whether it’s a purple ribbon on an exhibit, a confident presentation, or a heartfelt thank-you from a young member, these moments are the heartbeat of Kansas 4-H—each one made possible by the dedication of parents, volunteers, and extension professionals standing behind them. Let this time reignite our purpose, strengthen our partnerships, and remind us that every moment we invest in youth development is a seed planted for a stronger Kansas. The state fair is a lot of work, but it is also a wonderful time to sit back and see the positive impact our 4-H program is making on the youth of Kansas, in making them Beyond Ready.
Thank you for being part of Kansas 4-H. Together, we are growing leaders, building connections, and showcasing the very best of Kansas.
