Dear friends of the Orleans County 4-H Fair, now that the fair has come to an end, we want to thank everyone who helped make it such a great success. It truly takes a whole community, and we’re so grateful for each of you.

To our volunteers – your time, energy, and heart are the backbone of this fair. From organizing barns, to helping with contests, setting up exhibits and booths, lending a hand amongst each other’s families, cleaning up at the end of long days, and so much more, you do it all. You step in wherever you’re needed, often behind the scenes, without hesitation. We appreciate you more than words can say. This fair simply couldn’t happen without your commitment, kindness, and hard work. You are the quiet heroes who keep everything moving forward.

To our fairgoers – thank you for coming out and enjoying the fair with us. Whether you came for the animals, the food, the shows, the midway rides, or just a fun day with your family, your support means everything to us.

To our sponsors – your support helps us keep this fair going strong. Because of you, we’re able to give our 4-H youth amazing opportunities to grow, learn, and shine. We can’t thank you enough.

To our vendors – thank you for filling the fairgrounds with tasty food, fun games, and unique items. You helped make the fair a place where there was something for everyone.

To our midway team – thank you for bringing the adventure! From the spinning rides to the glowing lights and carnival games, you gave our fair the fun and excitement we all look forward to.

And to our 4-H members and families – you are the heart of the fair. Your dedication, passion, and hard work are what make this event so special. We are proud of everything you’ve accomplished and thankful to be part of your journey.

Thank you all for being part of this year’s fair. Because of you, it was full of fun, learning, and community spirit. We’re already looking forward to next year!

With gratitude,

The Orleans County Cornell Cooperative Extension Fair Committee
