Hello 4-H Families, 

Hot off the press! 

We are excited to announce the youth will be showing in the ring with their livestock in person with leaders and family attending.  We will not have the public when the youth are showing.  The public will be attending fair the following week.  

We are excited to get the kids back to fairs with their 4-H projects!

See the attached letter with more details from the Monterey fair manager.
