Welcome

Welcome to the 2007 New London County 4-H Exposition.

4-H'ers across the nation continue the education and fun which started more than 100 years ago! Join us for a weekend of 4-H memories, friendship and recognition. 4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills.

Join the 4-H spirit of giving, caring, working and sharing which makes our 4-H Exposition a success.

We thank our parents, leaders, advisors, and the volunteers who work with us, lead and support us. Thank you to the North Stonington Grange and the North Stonington Fair Association, our advertisers and award sponsors for their continued support of 4-H.

We look forward to seeing you at the 4-H Expo on July 27 - 29 at the Grange Grounds in North Stonington. Join us at the 4-H BBQ on Saturday, 4:00 - 6:00 PM. New this year is Mad Science on Saturday!
