Located just minutes from Fort Wayne, Huntington and Warsaw, the 4-H fair showcases the talents of Whitley County’s youth, according to a news release from the fair. Check out the exhibits, competitions, livestock, food and grandstand entertainment. The 4-H fair highlights the heritage of the community and its ties to agriculture, industry and businesses that are the backbone of the community.

Whether it be viewing the projects on the hill, or watching the livestock shows, the 4-H fair is the culmination of the youth’s yearlong hard work.
