About the Event & Contest

On September 26, 2015, Union County 4-H & Youth Development Foundation will host its 6th Annual Fall Festival. This is a free event for parents and children to enjoy many different activities including inflatables, carriage and tractor rides, live DJ music, livestock show, mini pony rides, craft show, vendors, bake off competition with local 4-Hers as well as a special tour around Safety Town. Safety Town is an opportunity for children between the ages of 5 to 12 years old to learn about various safety techniques from electrical, fire, and the most popular - farm safety. Every year, participants of Safety Town receive a t-shirt upon their completion of the tour. This year, we are asking for the youth in Union County to submit t-shirt design ideas! The winning design will be used on the Safety Town t-shirt worn by hundreds of youth in the county.
