Caldwell County 4-H Agent Rhonda Jewell has announced that Exhibit Day for Caldwell County kids is scheduled for Wednesday, July 17th, at the local extension office.
She explained that, unlike Christian and McCracken counties, Caldwell County does not host a county fair. Instead, Exhibit Day is designated for local kids to enter their exhibits and compete for a chance to advance to the Kentucky State Fair in August.
