The 4-H Fair is a showcase of the wonderful achievements of 4-Hers from around the county. It is great opportunity for everyone to come out for wholesome family fun, said Kathy Murarik, Morris County 4-H Program Associate.
This is a great family friendly event that is centered around the hard work done by these great 4-H kids, who represent some of the best young people, and who are future leaders of their communities and our county,'' said Morris County Freeholder Doug Cabana.
