A 4-H Promotion Booth will be located on the grounds. Open Thursday through Sunday, there will be make and take projects for prospective 4-H'ers to try their hands at. Face Painting will also be featured at the Booth.

Saturday brings the, Carrousel Grain sponsored, Kiddie Pedal Pull. Classes are broken into age groups, for both boys and girls, ages 3 to 10.

Entry for the pull is free and will be accepted Saturday, prior to the pull. Each participant receives a T-shirt, and the winner of each class wins a trophy. These kids really take this event seriously and they're great fun to watch.

Judging of youth and open class entries takes place Tuesday through Friday on the grounds.

Remember, everyone is welcome to stop by and observe the many different areas of judging. Kids and adults alike, can learn by watching and listening to the constructive comments and helpful hints given by the judges.
