4-H: HEAD, HEART, HANDS & HEALTH

4-H is the nation’s largest positive youth development and youth mentoring organization, empowering more than six million young people in the United States.

In partnership with 110 universities, 4-H’s life-changing programs are research-backed and available through 4-H clubs, camps, afterschool and school enrichment programs in every county in the United States.

4-H is the youth development program of our nation’s Cooperative Extension System and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The Emmet County 4-H program is operated through the Emmet County Michigan State University Extension office. For more information about how to become involved in 4-H locally, please call (231) 348-1770.

Local 4-H youth are important to the Emmet-Charlevoix County Fair! Each year these young people raise and nurture animals and learn important life lessons as they care for them. Then, they put them up for auction, often raising funds for college from generous local buyers.

Throughout the week of the fair, various 4-H shows take place, such as animal shows, livestock auctions and displays throughout the barns and community buildings.

See you in August at the Fair!
