Young men and women, 14-18 years old and all in the 4-H program, compete in a Western Show at the 2022 Maryland State Fair in Timonium, Maryland, Aug. 25, 2022. The Maryland State Fair provides 4-H youth an opportunity to showcase all of what they've learned through their club, school, camp, and other 4-H experiences. Youth develop life skills while learning about everything from animal science to rocketry, public speaking, and the arts. There's something for everyone in 4-H. The state fair also allows youth to engage with the community and build lifelong friendships. (USDA photo by Christophe Paul)
