4-H show season is just around the corner, and 4-H members are ready to showcase their talents at this year’s general project, animal, and livestock shows. The Edwards County 4-H shows continue through Thursday, July 30, with most of the show schedule coinciding with the Edwards County Fair. Illinois Extension invites communities to attend a show in support of local youth or bring the family to learn more about 4-H. All shows are open to the public and will be held at the Edwards County Fairgrounds in Albion, unless otherwise noted. Community members are encouraged to follow Edwards County 4-H on Facebook to stay up to date on events and show results.
