EVELYN CAPLINGER

Please plan ahead to have your animals to the fairgrounds on time. All animals will be checked in on Sunday, July 14, from 6 a.m. – 3 p.m. except rabbits and poultry. NO EXCEPTIONS! All animals, including horses, must be checked in by 3 p.m.

VERY IMPORTANT CHANGE: This year there will be another County 4-H Camp going on the week prior to the Fair so campers are ONLY allowed to be brought out at the following times.

It’s time for Wood County 4-H Horse Camp, June 2 - 7, 2019!  We are looking forward to having an exciting and enjoyable learning experience. The theme for this year is “Back to the 80’s!” This year is the Campgrounds 80th Anniversary! The Horse Camp Committee has been working hard to improve your program as well as meet the guidelines of the state.  The committee has incorporated several changes. The cost of Wood County 4-H Horse Camp for 2019 is $ 110 for both 4-H’ers enrolled in the project in Wood County and campers attending from out of county.

Horse Camp is for 4-H members enrolled in the horse project during the current 4-H year and are eligible for 4-H events. And there will be NO walk-ins. Applications are due Friday, May 10, 2019 to the Wood County WVU Extension Office.

Registration is open for Wood County 4-H YAWC, Older, and Younger 4-H Camps. Online registration is now available and eliminates a lot of the paperwork required to register for camp! It's simple, click on the link below the camp information to register!
