The Belknap County 4-H Fair Is A Go!


The 4-H Fair meeting held on March 10th drew over 50 people who showed their support and volunteer spirit to continue the tradition of the Belknap County 4-H Fair, which is the only 4-H Fair in the State of New Hampshire. Thanks to the people who showed up and stepped forward to help “share the load” the 68th Annual 4-H Fair will happen this summer on August 13th and 14th.


Meeting attendees talked about what makes the Belknap County 4-H Fair special. Many echoed the same sentiment of the 4-H Fair being a small and intimate agricultural fair, with a family friendly atmosphere, as opposed to the louder carnival atmosphere at the larger fairs.


“Where else can you go and see a kid walking around with his cow and stopping so kids can get up close to pet it and ask questions?” asked 4-H parent Stephanie Davis, “You can hear the animals and it’s a safe place for your children to be,” she added. Others commented that the Yankee craft exhibit barn and the old-fashioned chicken barbecue are also highlights of the fair.


Long-time Fair Board members and volunteers Wendy and Fred French and Paula Glover were relieved and extremely happy that people showed up to volunteer and keep the fair going. Fran Wendelboe accepted the nomination for President and a thunderous round of applause and cheers broke out in the room when the nomination was seconded and approved. Katie Laux volunteered to fill the vacant Treasurer position, another critical position on the board that needed to be filled.


A key theme at the meeting was sharing the workload and developing committees so that board members are not doing all the work and becoming overwhelmed or burned out. The 4-H State Program Leader Wendy Brock attended the meeting and was instrumental in facilitating the discussion on the importance of building a solid infrastructure for the board so it can function to capacity.


Long-time volunteer and former board member Dana Chase volunteered to be the Facilities and Grounds Manager. Jamie Clark volunteered to manage Concessions, and Sherrie Bellerose volunteered her talents to chair the Public Relations and Advertising Committee. Donna Clifford and Don McNulty volunteered to work with the Treasurer on the newly formed Finance Committee. Stephanie Davis offered to be the new Volunteer Manager, a key person to coordinate volunteers and schedule work days with Chase before the fair.


This year’s fair will take place on August 13th and 14th at the Fairgrounds in Belmont. To learn more about the fair, visit www.bc4hfair.org. Volunteers are still needed, and there are a variety of areas for volunteers to share their time and talents. Contact the 4-H office at 527-5475 or e-mail Volunteer Manager Stephanie Davis at [email protected] for more information.


Long-time 4-H Volunteers and Fair Organizers Fred and Wendy French enjoyed a rare moment to relax during last year’s 4-H Fair. The Frenches are delighted that new volunteers came forward to help, and the 68th Annual Belknap County 4-H Fair will be held on August 13 and 14.
