Hello All,

 

Due to the predicted possible hurricane for Friday and the threat of Eastern Equine Encephalitis from mosquitoes, the East Middleboro 4-H Fair will be open Saturday from 9 AM- 7PM and Sunday as scheduled.  Friday's activities have been canceled. The Middleboro Health Department has advised "all outside activities at dawn and dusk be canceled or rescheduled" due to EEE. 

 

The annual 4-H Auction for Friday and Saturday night will be postponed to Friday, October 8th and Saturday, October 9th. 

 

Saturday's activities will feature 4-H livestock and animals shows, static exhibits, exhibit tents and the Country Kitchen serving breakfast until 12.

 

Any questions, please call Plymouth County Extension at 781-293-3541.

 

Thanks,
