9 Welcome to the Wicomico County Fair! As the new President of the Wicomico Farm & Home Show, Inc., I am honored to have the opportunity to invite you all to join us at the 3 rd annual Wicomico County Fair. First and foremost I would like to thank our past President, Alan Gravenor for his years of dedication and service to the Wicomico Farm & Home Show. Alan continues to be an integral part of our success and without the knowledge and support of Alan and the Gravenor family the event truly would not be possible. This year marks an exciting year for us; in only our 3 rd year we have been recognized as one of the premier community events here on Delmarva and that reflects directly on the wonderful neighbors, volunteers, small businesses, local government officials, and all other participants that help to make this event possible. While it may only be our 3 rd year hosting the Wicomico County Fair the Wicomico Farm & Home Show, Inc., brings to the table 81 years of event planning experience and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to commemorate and celebrate the 150 th Anniversary of Wicomico County this summer. You heard right, 2017 marks the Sesquicentennial of our beloved County and more importantly reminds us all of the history, heritage, and culture that makes this community as strong today as it ever has been. Of course a new year means lots of new and exciting things coming to the fair. In 2016 we introduced a number of new activities including a fireworks demonstration, a 4-H showcase to highlight the talents of our young people, helicopter rides, more food, more concessions, and more FUN! Well 2017 is no different as we will still maintain all of our programming from the past two years but we will be expanding to nearly twice our previous size! With a new livestock barn and show ring, the inclusion of the MD High School Rodeo, the Wicomico Equestrian Club the fair will surely have something to offer for everyone. The 150 th celebration will also feature a number of additions to the fair such as a Parade (Saturday 1:50pm) and a heritage site to look back at Wicomico County over the years. I would like to personally thank the Officers and Board of Directors for the Wicomico Farm & Home Show. Without their dedication, vision, and guidance this wonderful event would not be possible. I would also like to sincerely thank all of the friends of the fair we have made throughout the community. And a special thanks to the Salisbury Area Chamber of Commerce and Wicomico County Parks, Recreation, and Tourism who have been instrumental in our success and growth. Most importantly thank you to all of the neighbors, local county and city officials, volunteers, local non-profits, clubs, educators, chairman, department chairman, judges, and workers who band together during the 3 rd week in August every summer to bring this amazing event to life. Please visit our website or follow us on Facebook for additional information and updates, or to learn how you can become more involved in the Wicomico County Fair. Join us at the fair this summer and be sure to have a wonderful time and celebrate everything Wicomico County has to offer! Zach Evans President, WFHS, Inc. 9

74 For more than 100 years, 4-H has stood behind the idea that youth is the single strongest catalyst for change. What began as a way to give rural youth new agricultural skills, today has grown into a global organization that teaches leadership, life skills development, and community advocacy. HEAD 4-H is principled in positive youth development programming and helping youth step up to the challenges in a complex and changing world. 4-H is dedicated to helping cultivate the next generation of leaders and tackling the nation s top challenges such as the shortage of skilled professionals, maintaining our global competiveness, encouraging civic involvement, and becoming a healthier society. HEART HANDS HEALTH The Maryland 4-H Youth Development program, through University of Maryland Extension (UME), is organized under the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources of the University of Maryland. University of Maryland Extension programs are open to all citizens and will not discriminate against anyone because of race, age, sex, color, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, religion, ancestry, or national origin, marital status, genetic information, or political affiliation, or gender identity and expression. If you need special assistance to participate in this program, contact Amy Rhodes or Barbara Barga at FFA Mission FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. How to Join The FFA is an integral part of the Agricultural Education program. To join the FFA you must be enrolled in an Ag Science Education course in your local school. Contact your school s counselor or Ag Science instructor to enroll in Ag Ed and join the FFA. FFA is not a "club." It is one of three integral components of an agricultural education program: classroom instruction, supervised agricultural experience and life skills. Students between the ages of 12 and 21 who are enrolled in a systematic course of instruction in agricultural education are eligible for membership. Your local school system must offer agricultural instruction and have an active FFA chapter for you to join. If your school doesn't have an agricultural education program, take steps to open a program in your school. In order to accomplish this task we strongly recommended that you contact your state agricultural education staff to express your interest and ask for assistance on regulations, requirements and resources for planning the new program. 74

112 4-H is an informal youth education program for boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 18 (Clovers ages 5 to 7) sponsored by University of Maryland Extension with funding and support from the Colleges of Agriculture and Natural Resources of UMCP & UMES, County Government and USDA. There are a variety of ways for young people to engage in 4-H including community and project clubs, school enrichment, after school programs, special interest groups, independent study, summer camps and more. Community and project clubs provide the richest 4-H experience. Most clubs include about a dozen boys and girls who meet once a month with two or more carefully screened and trained teen and adult volunteers in a public place for about 90 minutes, usually on a week night. 4-H also provides a wide variety of optional activities/events. Help Wanted! If you are a caring teen or adult who desires to make a positive difference in the life of a young person and is interested in helping form a new club, judging a contest, teaching a class, helping at camp, chaperoning an outing or assisting with a variety of other tasks, call the 4-H Office nearest you and volunteer. 112
