Hands-on activities for Children's Fun Station

We are looking for activity leaders at the Children's Fun Station. If you have something you would like to share at the Fair with our visiting families and young 4-H members, feel free to contact the 4-H Office at vsmit@co.morris.nj.us. Need an idea? We have bins with supplies ready to go.

Take-down

The take-down starts right after the fair ends on Sunday, July 27 at 4pm and continues for the next day(s).   

All are great opportunities for students to earn volunteer hours, for individuals, groups, or companies to have a fun and meaningful team activity and give your gift of time to the community. 

Please note that only 4-H project dogs and official service dogs like Seeing Eye Dogs and Seeing Eye Puppies, are allowed at the Fairgrounds.
This includes setup and takedown.

Thank you for understanding and leaving other dogs at home!
