Junior Fair

1 of 3

The Wisconsin Valley Fair has a healthy Junior Fair department with around 800 youth that exhibit over 17,000 projects! The Junior Fair department is made up of Marathon County 4-H clubs, FFA chapters, and other educational groups, that work on improving their skills in related projects throughout the year. The purpose of the department is for youth to display their accomplished goals and projects, and get feedback from state-licensed judges to improve for the future. The Wisconsin Valley Fair is a state-aided fair, which regulates the how places are awarded, and the amount of premiums given out.
