Episode 23: Fair Exhibits Complete the Learning Cycle of the 4-H Youth Development Program

<p>4-H Fairs are typically recognized as the culminating event of the 4-H program year. Lots of excitement is generated during the 4-H Fairs as the youth display the products that they have worked so hard on during the year. Exhibits are one part of the 4-H Program and help to complete the learning cycle within 4-H. Dr. Casey Mull, State 4-H Program Leader, talks with 4-H Educators Dena Held and JP Pietrowski in this podcast to discuss the uniqueness of the 4-H Program and the role that fairs and exhibitions play in helping the youth participants to learn valuable life lessons.</p> <p>Additional information about Purdue Extension is available at: <a href="https://extension.purdue.edu/index.html" target="_BLANK">https://extension.purdue.edu/index.html</a>.
