The 4-H ‘A-Fair to Remember’
The not-to-be-missed event of the season!
Millbrook, New York – On Sunday, June 5th from 11:30 am-1:30 pm join us for our new (and not-to-be-missed) innovative fundraiser gala lunch. Our goal: to make it possible for any child in Dutchess County to participate in the 4-H program and experience the benefits of everything that comes with it, especially the opportunity to experience the Dutchess County Fair! The event will take place at the beautiful Millbrook Vineyards and Winery.
The A-Fair to Remember will be an exciting, interactive event for the whole family. We will showcase the amazing project areas that 4-H offers. The event will feature a fair food-themed luncheon, catering for all tastes, including the famous milkshakes made by the Dutchess County Dairy Committee. There will be a live auction for great prizes. And best of all, youth from every 4-H project area will provide demonstrations and activities you can choose (or not) to engage in, such as interacting with the animals, trying out archery, and learning a craft.
Ticket sales are live NOW! Sponsorship packets with options for every budget are available NOW. And, of course, donations are welcome NOW. Go to:

Since 1913, Dutchess County 4 H has been part of America’s largest youth development organization which empowers nearly six million young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime. We believe in the power of young people. We see that every child has valuable strengths and real influence to improve the world around us. Every year, we provide over 500 youth, aged 5-19, with hands-on education in agriculture, animals, science, arts and crafts, and shooting sports. Through this, Dutchess county youth learn to take on critical societal issues, such as addressing community health inequities, and advocating for equity and inclusion.
“Showing my goat at the fair was so exciting and I learned so much and my dad got to see what I worked on all year” – Jess, aged 10
“Going to the fair was scary and I didn’t think I was good enough but my Leader said I could and I won a ribbon. Now I know I can do anything if I work hard and just try” – Ben, aged 11
Save the date and decide how you will support our youth as next-generation leaders!
