The 4H Youth Fair in Tompkins County continues with a full day of events today.
Free and open to the public, the fair provides family entertainment, and is a chance for 4H participants to share the projects they’ve been working on for the last year. Organizer Brenda Carpenter says the fair serves as a backdrop for children to learn important life skills, and often times it’s not about winning a blue ribbon, but about giving children recognition that can lead to personal growth.
Among Friday's events include chilli cook0off at 5:00 and a 4H talent show at 7:00. The fair continues through Saturday evening and is located on Ithaca’s 4H Acres, just off Route 13 on Lower Creek Road.
