💚🎡 As the Sun Sets on the 2025 Cecil County Fair… 🎡💚
The 4-H Awards Ceremony always comes with a bittersweet feeling — a celebration of hard work, dedication, and accomplishment… and a signal that the Fair is winding down.
While there are still a few hours left to catch the thrill of the Derby, take one last spin on the Midway, or grab that final Gifford’s Baked Potato 🥔 — for our 4-H’ers, the show is over and it’s time for one last chore: clean-up.
To every 4-H member who poured their heart into this week — congratulations. 👏 Your passion, creativity, and effort made this year’s Fair unforgettable.
It was a joy catching up with familiar faces like Nick Vlamis, Kendall Kuhl, Kaitlyn Chaplin, Lillian Long, Kaylin Stafford, Bella Chavis, and Jace Montanez — young leaders we’ve followed for years.
And what a treat to meet so many inspiring new 4-H’ers. Just to name a few who we are especially looking forward to seeing your next projects:
👑 Rosemary Quinteros, our 2025 National Petite Miss Agriculture USA, and her brother Cruz
🌾 Hannah Johnson, the 2025 Jr. Cecil County Farm Ambassador
🐴🐐 Maddie & Kayla Harvey, rodeo superstars and their dairy goats and lambs.
🥇 Emma Berkey, Grand Champion Baker at just 13 with some amazing Cinnamon Buns.
📸 Emily Clontz, whose photography stunned in both 4-H and Open competitions
🐖 C**t Williams, showing off his pigs and lambs with pride
Each of you made your mark — and we can’t wait to see what you do next. 💫
Until next summer… thanks for the memories, laughs, and late nights at the barns.
Also, a huge thank you to Susan Sprout Knight who does so much more than many people realize at promoting the kids in 4-H and trying to get their stories out there where people can see them. Without her, to many the Cecil County Fair would be nothing more than Demolition Derbys, Midway Rides and funnel cakes but she does all she can to show people the 4-H side of the Fair.
❤️
