2021 St. Fair 4-H Entomology Winners

Published on Aug. 23, 2021

Congratulations to this year's winners in the 4-H Entomology categories at the 2021 Kentucky St. Fair! Each year, 4-Hers from around the state compete in a variety of entomology competitions that are based on physical collections of pinned insects or collections of digitally-photographed insects. The collections become larger and more elaborate as 4-Hers progress from 1st to 5th year versions of the projects. Some of these projects are on display at the St. Fair in the Cloverville section now until Aug 29, 2021. Learn more about 4-H Entomology projects by talking to your local county 4-H agent (there's one in every county!) or visiting our 4-H Entomology resource page.
