and win places on county 4-H club teams and free trips to the
State Fair.

           A new project entered into the 1940 club program; the 4-H
club camp at the county fair. The county agent for several years
had visions of a 4-H camp at the county fair. This camp would be
an event planned for and anticipated by every 4-H club in the
county. Writh suitable food and housing conditions it could be
planned to climax the county 4-H club year at the county with
exhibits, booths, demonstrations, judging contests, etc.
           Four-H club members could come to the county fair and
take part in the activities of the fair while being housed under
favorable conditions,
           The first step was taken in 1939. A church stand was
contacted at the fair and furnished 4-H club members three good
meals a day for .75%. Tents for sleeping were promised but were
not available.
           In getting ready for the 1940 fair   the county 4-H
council invited the fair directors to meet with them to plan a 4-II
camp at the fair, As a result the fair association in 1940
furnished tests for a ments hail and dormitory. Cots were hired,
meals were conlacted for and served at the camp by a resturant. In
spite of the rain, a sucoea.ful camp was held.
