 California Fairs and Expositions
A fair is a gathering of people to display or trade produce or other goods, to parade or display animals and often to enjoy associated carnival or funfair entertainment. 4-H members typically exhibit their 4-H project work at county fairs.
California Fairs and Expositions Rules for 4-H Members - There are a number of rules governing 4-H participation at Fairs and Expositions. These rules come from the 4-H Youth Development Program, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Fairs and Expositions (FE) Department, 4-H, FFA, and Grange Agreement and the specific fair or exposition itself.

1099 filings required from the sales of livestock at county fairs. Read the flyer here (PDF)

The California 4-H Foundation is recruiting 4-H members and leaders to help staff the 4-H booth. This is a great opportunity for 4-H members and volunteers to share with the public their 4-H experiences, as well as, the wide range of projects and leadership opportunities that are available to youth through participation in the California 4-H Youth Development Program. Small 4-H projects are welcome to accompany you (robots, rabbits, arts/crafts, service dogs, etc.) to give the public a “feel” for what types of projects are available. Examples of community service projects also make for good stories to share with the public. Please feel free to bring photo albums or record books with you to show anyone who may be interested in learning even more about your 4-H project.
Parking passes and fair admission tickets will be provided to 4-H members and adults who sign up for a 2-hour shift. A maximum of 4 youth and 2 adults per shift will be allowed. Further, each shift must have an adult or older teen in the booth at all times.
