4-H Youth exhibit their best at the 2025 MN State Fair

By Editor | September 25, 2025 |

St. Paul, Minn. – 4-H youth from across Minnesota again showcased their learning in the 4-H Building at the Minnesota State Fair. Over 160 demonstrations were delivered and over 1,900 general exhibits were on display. In a continuation of the virtual state showcase format developed in 2020, over 110 of the general exhibits were judged virtually this year.
Throughout the year, 4-H youth select project areas that reflect personal areas of interest and pursue hands-on learning in both self-directed and guided environments. The results of their learning are exhibited at county fairs and other showcase events across the state. A collection of the best exhibits from each fair and showcase are brought to presentations in the 4-H Building at the Minnesota State Fair.
Exhibiting project work and delivering public presentations at the state fair provides youth an opportunity to showcase their achievements and continue learning through interactive conference judging with project experts and team experiences.
The presentations, exhibits and presence of 4-H youth from diverse communities across Minnesota brought renewed and welcomed energy to the 4-H Building. See the full results and photos at z.umn.edu/4h-state-fair-results.
Kittson County had 18 youth participating in several areas. See results in separate box.
4-H empowers youth with the skills they need to lead for a lifetime.
Congratulations to all the Kittson County youth who participated in 4-H at the 2025 Minnesota State Fair!
