The first judging to take place at the Kenosha County Fair junior fair is on Tuesday, before the fair even officially opens. These are the various projects outside of beef, pork, sheep, swine, poultry and rabbits that youth organization members (most from 4-H Clubs) have been working on all year from art to woodworking.
You can see these projects in person in the two buildings just north and a little east of the Commercial Building.
These projects all receive individual ribbons, but some exceptional projects are chosen for Merit Awards.
Below is a list of some of the Merit Awards for this year. We will have more of these results as they become available.
