Erath County 4-Hers showed off their talents and heart recently at the 13th annual Youth Fair held in conjunction with the Erath County Junior Livestock Show.  Three hundred and forty-two items were judged at the show – entries up 53 percent!  Each year, more youth enter, but this year the growth has been phenomenal. Nineteen community volunteers came out in force to judge the event.

In addition to having their items judged, 4-H clubs made baskets filled with different themed goodies to raffle.  This year proceeds benefit Erath County United Way and CASA program.  It is a great way for 4-H to give back to the community. 

Sponsors for the 2017 Youth Fair were Erath County Farm Bureau, Prime Building, Square One Machines, Stephenville Evening Lions Club, VB Orthopaedics, Cavitt Family, Powell Family, Saucedo Family, FMC, Cross B Photography, BVEH, United Cooperative Services, Cici’s Pizza, Andy’s Tire Service, Rob Lloyd Reality, Stephenville Optimist Club, Integrity Financial Services, First Financial Bank, Easter Heat and Air, Tex Star Ford, Stephenville Equine Sports Medicine, and Wild Thymes Designs. Thanks to their sponsorship, 4-Hers were able to earn prize money for winning Best of Show, first, second, or third place on their projects.
