Family & Consumer Sciences Day at the Kentucky State Fair

Description 

On the second Saturday of the Kentucky State Fair, the spotlight is cast on 4-H projects related to Family and Consumer Sciences.  4-H members have an opportunity to volunteer in Cloverville.  They can give a food demonstration from the Cloverville stage or work on their own FCS project where fair-goers can watch and ask questions. Kentucky 4-H believes that all youth should have opportunities for positive youth development in our four guiding concepts:  mastery, belonging, independence, and generosity.  This event fosters mastery by allowing youth to demonstrate the skills they have learned through 4-H, belonging by being involved in an effort that impacts youth across the state, independence by accepting responsibility for preparation and follow-through, and generosity by reaching out to others by volunteering.
