Theme

English:  “Legends Inspire Youth” 

Dine Bizaad:  “Nooséłí éí Hastóí dóó Sáanii bohonéedzáanii yits’áádéé ‘át’é nizin. ”


This year’s theme was inspired, largely by the work and investments that our 4-H Junior Livestock club, members, parents, and volunteers put into hosting the ENF 4-H events and the entire fair. It is the hope of the fair board, not just for this year, but for all years to have our elders and youth come together to learn from one another and put effort into good faith actions so we may work towards making tomorrow better than today for each generation.
