Fayette County 4-H

Congratulations to Lacy Nall on winning the Youth Art Contest from National Agriculture Week. Her work will represent Fayette County and be featured on a special map of Kentucky at the 2026 Kentucky State Fair!

We are excited to offer several 4-H Project Day Camps this summer for youth ages 9-18! These workshops provide a great opportunity for youth to learn new skills, complete project work, and prepare exhibits for our 4-H project submissions.

Space is limited for each activity, and youth must sign up through SignUpGenius.

Harper, Annemarie, Kedley, and Kindle are representing Fayette County 4-H at Teen Conference this week. They have experienced the UK campus experience taking classes, staying in the dorms, and lots of walking.

Agriculture Week Art Contest! 🎨🚜

Local students were challenged to show how agriculture is part of their everyday lives by filling in a county outline with their own creative ideas. From farms and livestock to gardens and local markets, these young artists did an amazing job representing agriculture in our community.

Now we need YOUR help!
Community members are invited to vote for their favorite artwork. The winning piece will represent Fayette County in a special display at the 2026 Kentucky State Fair!

Happy graduation season! If your youth is graduating from high school or you’re a Fayette County 4-H volunteer graduating from college, reach out to one of the Fayette County 4-H Agents (MG, Ally, or Manda) about receiving a graduation cord to walk with. We are so proud of all of our Fayette County graduates!

Pictured below with his cord is Fayette County 4-H alum turned volunteer Lawson Hill, who graduates from EKU with a Bachelor of Science in Fire Protection & Safety Engineering Technology this week.
