While age can bring experience, winning isn’t solely determined by it. Success often comes from a combination of factors like dedication, skill, and understanding of the competition. However, being older might provide you with more time to learn the ropes and hone your abilities, which could indeed boost your chances. Regardless of age, what matters most is your passion and commitment to excel. So, whether you’re young or old, give it your all, and who knows, you might just come out on top!
Nope! While 4H is a fantastic program, we welcome participants from all backgrounds. However, we do encourage familiarity with the Whitley County fair, as you’ll also be representing our community as an ambassador. This ensures that you can fully engage with and showcase the rich culture, traditions, and values of our county. So whether you’re from 4H or not, we’re excited to have you join us!
We hear that all the time. It’s not highly competitive and we host multiple workshops to help prep you for the event so you look and do your best! We’re looking for a role model not a fashion model!
The answer is yes. But, you can live in an adjoining county if you participate in Whitley County 4H, school, or other activities.
