There are many things that 4-H participants have to do as preparation for the fair. Hoof trimming, halter breaking, hair cutting... But one of the most important tasks actually has nothing to do with the animals.
It's driving around and visiting trusted businesses and companies, giving them information about the fair, and inviting them to attend. We explain how the fair can benefit them through tax write-offs and advertising. Most of the buyers at the fair are, in fact, companies, and it's important to build relationships with them so that the sale can be a success for everybody.
