The County fair is a time for youth to demonstrate what they have learned that year in the projects they have completed. Project manuals (curriculum) are available free of charge for all Pawnee County 4-H members. Projects provide the basis of the 4-H program by offering various educational experiences. Carrying out a project will help the members "learn by doing" as well as learn "why" things happen the way they do. During county fair, youth may choose to show animal exhibits (poultry, sheep, horse, etc.) and/or enter completed static exhibits (art, photography, woodworking, etc.).
