The Fair is Back in Town!
After more than a 15 year hiatus, Rutherford County will host a 4-H Fair on August 8, 2009. Rutherford County youth in the 4-12 grades as of January 1, 2009 are eligible to compete in more than 40 different classes with premiums of over $1,500. Categories in the fair include art, baking, clothing, gardening, photography, crafts, entomology and needlework. In addition, there will be an archery tournament, poultry show, dairy show and a livestock show. Entry to the fair is free and open to the public.
The 4-H Fair will take place at the Rutherford County UT/TSU Extension Office located at 315 John R Rice Blvd. in Murfreesboro. Extension Agent Michael Shirley says, “With the completion of our new livestock barn and community center, we felt like the time was right to bring the fair back to town. In the past several years, if a Rutherford County youth wanted to compete in a fair competition, they would have to go to a neighboring county’s fair. Now, they will be able to show off their work right here at home.”
Rutherford County’s fair will kick-off at 9:00 in the morning with the 4-H Poultry Show and Sale. A record 42 4-H’ers have been raising Barred Rock chickens through the Chick Chain program. Each 4-H’er will bring their five best chickens to compete in the show. After the show, the chickens will be auctioned off to raise money for the 4-H poultry project.
Immediately following the poultry show and sale, the dairy show will begin. Youth from Rutherford and Marshall Counties will exhibit several different breeds of dairy cattle. The inaugural Rutherford County 4-H archery tournament will begin at 1:00 PM followed by the livestock show at 4:00 PM.
Throughout the day, the community center will be open and spectators can view the entries submitted in the various categories. There will also be a barbeque dinner and auction in the community center beginning at 6:00 PM. All money received will go directly to the 4-H Program of Rutherford County.
