The Montgomery County 4-H Fair is held every year during the second week in August on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Montgomery County 4-H Center, located at 1015 Bridge Road in Collegeville.

The Fair times for 2016 are:

  • Aug. 11, 4:00 PM-9:30 PM
  • Aug. 12, 9:30 AM-9:30 PM
  • Aug. 13, 9:30 AM-4:00 PM

The 4-H Fair is the culmination of the 4-H project year for Montgomery County 4-H members.

This is their opportunity to show their families, friends, and the public their achievements throughout the year. Livestock and animal science 4-H members have their animals on display and proudly show them and answer questions.

Other 4-H clubs also have their projects on display, and are on hand to promote 4-H and their clubs. A giant Fabric Sale is ongoing during the fair, and is coordinated by the Creamery Crafters 4-H club.

In addition to the 4-H projects, there are demonstrations, contests, games, music, an Open Baking Contest, an Open Pet Show, and all types of delicious food, including the World’s Largest Sausage Patty!

Past demonstrations have included the Graterford Mounted Patrol, Canine Agility, Parade of Horse Breeds, and the 4-H Equine Drill Team to name a few. The Daisy Jug Band, a southeastern Pennsylvania favorite, performs on Friday evening.

The public is also encouraged to enter projects into the Open Classes categories. You do not need to be a Montgomery County resident. There are classes for all types of gardening, sewing, cooking, crafts, art, photography, and more.
