 Everyone loves a
fair!
Acton fair has
something for the entire family. A stroll through agriculture
exhibits gives the old
a chance to remember their past and the young
an opportunity to learn where their food comes from and the economic
value agriculture has on their community. Not only are fairs
educational, but they are entertaining and fun. After sampling a
variety of food on the fairgrounds, visitors might choose to enjoy
some of the available entertainment options. Visitors can then
stroll through arts and grange hall exhibits, and take in a ride or
two.
York County 4-H
youth have a rich history of participation in Acton Fair.
Over one hundred
4-H youth each year exhibit projects in the 4-H Exhibit Hall. They
have spent the year learning critical life skills such as teamwork,
leadership, goal setting, cooperation, community service and
character. Their fair exhibits are a tangible, visible outcome of
their 4-H education. You will also encounter 4-H youth in the Food
Booth, where they are learning valuable cooperative and service
skills. And you will find them in the show rings, where they are
showing beef, dairy, llama, goats, sheep and other animals. You
will find them riding in horse programs, and preparing rabbits for a
"costume" show.
When you
encounter and interact with 4-H members at the fair you will learn
that there are less tangible outcomes to their 4-H experience that
cannot be displayed in the Exhibit Hall. These are great youth!
Fairs and
exhibitions have a significant impact on our York County and Maine
communities. They are a gathering place for the young and old and
offer the public a place to gather, compete and volunteer their
services. Our 4-H youth, parents and leaders have a proud heritage
of participation in Acton Fair.
