The 4-H Night was on Wednesday of  fair week. During the 4-H animal scrambles, the four scholarship winners were honored as well as three young ladies who are high school graduates this year. Those three are (pictured below on the stage, left to right) Rachel Skelton, Chelsea Coers and Katey Bobell.

Wednesday evening also saw the judging of last year's scramble calves. The calves were brought out onto the track by the young people who won them in last year's scrambles. The winners were responsible for the well-being of the animals during the course of the year and were required to return them to the judging this year.

There were nine winners last year and they placed in this year's judging as follows:

1st – Nick Davis; 2nd – Austin Burris; 3rd – Mary Rankin; 4th – Zac Bryan; 5th – Lukas Aylesworth; 6th – Cody Conrady;
7th – Randy Grohmann; 8th – Andrew Renfrow; 9th – Wyatt Conrady
