The 2024 Lee Co. Fair & 4-H Show is July 25th-28th at the Lee Co. 4-H Center & Fairgrounds, 1196 Franklin Rd., Amboy. The four-day event is a throwback to the old-time county fair with petting zoo, pony rides, midway of games, bounce houses, a barrel train, axe throwing and the County Fair Speedway.
The Lee County Fair Association is now accepting entries for the 2024 Jr. Show and expanded Open Show.
The Open Show now includes departments in cooking/baking, floral arrangement, gardening, fibers (quilting and sewing), photography and art.
The Open Show includes non-livestock projects and is open to any resident from any county of any age. 4-H members and jr. show participants may enter the open show with projects not already entered in the 4-H show or jr. show. Entries must be submitted by July 1st. Fee per entry is $2.00 with a limit of two entries per class.
