Local youth take center stage at Livingston County 4-H Show

PONTIAC, Ill. – The Livingston County 4-H Show continues to be a cherished community tradition, offering community members the chance to attend and support our 4-H members while celebrating their accomplishments. The Livingston County 4-H Show at the Livingston County Ag Fair will run from July 15 through 18 at the 4-H Park in Pontiac, showcasing youth in action and offering fun for the entire community.

This year’s show features 340 exhibitors presenting a total of 1,772 projects, representing both general projects and livestock. Visitors can explore exhibits in the Humiston Building, featuring everything from visual arts and sewing to STEM projects, or enjoy the excitement of livestock shows, where youth will present cattle, goats, poultry, and more.

Attendees won’t want to miss the 4-H Ag Games on Thursday, July 16 at 5:30 p.m. in the Grandstand Area. This fun, family-friendly event features relay-style games designed to engage both participants and spectators.

Be sure to also check out Agri-Town, brought to you by the Fair N’ Fun Committee. Enjoy fun, family-friendly games, and activities Thursday and Friday under the Recreation Shelter.

Ultimately, 4-H shows are one way we help youth be Beyond Ready—a mission focused on helping young people cultivate their dreams, passions, and talents so they are prepared for the future. We invite the entire community to attend the show and support Livingston County 4-H youth.
