Written by Emma Sims, Saline Youth Program Associate

Families and youth gathered in Marshall for the 2024 Saline County Fair held July 11-21. The County Fair provides youth with an opportunity to improve communication skills, teamwork abilities, and ultimately take pride in presenting their year-long projects. Highlights include a variety of livestock shows, 4-H and FFA project displays, and the Premium Sale held Friday evening. This year, more than $140,000 was donated to youth involved in the sale. Once again, 4-H awarded eight Best in Show awards for the top projects among the more than 650 entries presented for judging and 130 advancing to the Missouri State Fair.
