  • What's the Difference Between 4-H Projects and  Exhibits? - A project is centered around a topic of interest to members. Members can choose one or more topics to learn about.  There is a whole range of projects for 4-H members, everything from animals, to gardening, to safety, to food & nutrition and more! A project should include a series of learning experiences related to that topic. When you enroll in 4-H online, you sign up for projects. Below is a list of the Knox County 4-H projects available.  An exhibit is the specific item or animal that the       4-Her brings to the fair. All eligible exhibits are found in the Knox County Fairbook. There is a separate exhibit registration process for county fair that will happen later on.  Important dates to remember:
              June 15 - Deadline to enroll for projects in 4H Online.
              June 15 - Deadline to ID animals
              July 26 - Deadline for Fair Pre-Entry Forms for Exhibits
