​It's fair season again! We'd love our teens to have a say in the planning and operation of the Broome County 4-H Fair. These meetings will be their opportunity for teens to share their ideas, gain leadership opportunities, and make new friends. We'll work on planning out the fair's social hours, Barnyard Olympics, party, decorations and more. It won't be all work though. We'll save time for food and socializing too. Join us! Teens who participate in these meetings and help at the fair will be eligible for a teen group experience, likely in August-- which will be decided upon by the teens. Who: Broome County 4-H Teens, ages 13+ years Time: 5:30 pm- 7:30pm Location: CCE Auditorium May 26th June 2nd June 16th June 30th July 14th
