Greetings Wilkin County 4-H’ers, families and friends!

Our favorite season is fair season! We are so excited that you are a part of Wilkin County 4-H, and hope you choose to exhibit at the Wilkin County Fair!

4-H Showcase will be on August 12th-15th, 2026 and the Wilkin County Fair will be on August 13 to 15, 2026, Horse Show will be held on August 8th. These days offer youth an opportunity to showcase what they have learned and worked hard on throughout the year. This evaluation of exhibits is unique to 4-H and also creates a pathway for youth to bring their best exhibits to the Minnesota State Fair later this summer.

This is the time to share your talents! Explore the many project areas and find the entry area that resonates with you. We can’t wait to see what you will choose to bring to the fair! Now is the time to start planning your showcase experience. The county premium book outlines all the rules & regulations for any exhibits you will bring to the fair, how to pre-register for the fair, a full schedule of events, and some FAQs.
