Page Under Construction
Every two years the Nemaha County 4-H Council prints a new fairbook. 2025 is not a year we print a new book, but we will have some changes. You will find the updated pages with changed marked in yellow below. The pages will go live at the end of January after they are approved by the 4-H Council. Until then, you can check out the printed in 2024 book, at the following link. Just know, some rules could change and you need to check back at the end of the January for live links.
2024-2025 Fair Book
Welcome 4-H members, parents, leaders and friends to participation at the Nemaha County Fair. 4-H will be presented through exhibits and/or participation by members in many programs. To youth, fairs mean exchanging friendships and new adventures, families working together, and recognition and evaluation feedback of individual and team efforts. All 4-H exhibits at the Nemaha County Fair are products of members' participation in 4-H programming. We invite you to visit the 4-H exhibits and participate in programs. For more information about 4-H and University of Nebraska – Lincoln Extension contact the Nemaha County Extension Office at 402-274-4755.
