While the Kentucky State Fair turns 120 this year, the Commonwealth's branch of four H is celebrating its 115th birthday for the 177,000 young Kentuckians that participated in four H last year.

The state Fair is a chance to show off their work and take home some ribbons.

Kentucky Edition went to the four H's Clover Vale section of the state fair to take a closer look.

But really just solidifies what we do every day for these kids to get to see the smile on their face, to get to see their excitement when they walk out of a judging ram that.

They did it.

This is one of the big events for us.

Yes, we showcase our project work of our Kentucky foragers here in Clover Bill, and throughout the Kentucky State Fair, we have seven core program areas ranging from science, engineering, technology, agriculture, natural resources, family, consumer science, communication and expressive arts.

We have something for every young person if they're interested in participating with us.

This is our cumulative event.

Four for each project work.

Our hope is that young people will identify a project that they're interested in and gain mastery skills so that they are able to showcase their work here, whether it's textiles or showing an envelope.

That leadership, civic engagement, community service.

And we're instilling those three things more than anything.

So what we're doing is we're building a workforce for the future.

And I think if you can find that, then they've got future employees.

We have future leaders.

Kentucky Straight Focus is on meeting young people where they are and ensuring they have their needs met.

One important way of doing that is the partnerships that we create in our local community to meet those needs.

So as you're talking about the shortage of farmers and young people going into agriculture, our four age extension agents across the counties of Kentucky are focusing on hands on programing where young people can learn more about agriculture and how they can interact with agriculture in the classroom and clubs and community programs to make it more tangible option for our young people to pursue.

So every young person can be impacted by Kentucky for H. Whether they live in an urban area or a rural area.

The economic impact of Kentucky for each is broad and all 120 counties because the youth that have come through Kentucky for age are now thriving in their communities.

Whether it be a governor in our state representative in the state legislator, a CEO of a bank all the way to a farmer, to a doctor, to an attorney, and all those people are giving back to their communities.

So we have a huge impact in our economy.

And in Kentucky.

Last year, over 14,000 adults and teens volunteered to help conduct Kentucky's for age programs.
