Purpose of the Tompkins County

4-H Acres Youth Fair  

The purpose of the Tompkins County 4-H Acres Youth Fair is to enrich the learning experience of the 4-H member.   It serves as a "learning laboratory" for youth.   The learning experience of the 4-H fair goes far beyond the winning of a white, red, blue or purple ribbon.   It provides a backdrop for youth to learn important life skills.   4-H members will learn the importance of evaluation based upon pre-described standards; to communicate with an adult through conference judging; to learn how to ask questions and to obtain knowledge; to develop a sense of teamwork and cooperation; to learn that life is constantly changing; to learn to be a humble winner, and to develop positive sportsmanship skills; to develop one's self to the fullest potential; to use knowledge for the betterment of one's community, home, family and self; to volunteer one's time and skills to accomplish a common good; to build leadership skills by working with staff and volunteers; and to feel good about one's self and personal accomplishments.   Good luck, and enjoy the journey!
