Hello 4-H community,
The Monterey County Fair turns 80 years this week. So many 4-H families have been active at this fair and share many fond memories.
For the 4-H member, there are many activities, contests and responsibilities during this six day fair.

4-H adult volunteers and parents are a valued and essential part of the California 4-H Youth Development Program! Adult volunteers can have a positive and profound impact on the life of 4-H members.
