Why the stamp was issued: To celebrate the tradition of state and county fairs in America.
About the stamp design: Pictures a child holding a chicken while sitting atop a white fence with carnival rides in the background. Original artwork by Mick Wiggins.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot, North Dakota.
About the State and County Fairs: Includes four stamps which fit together to form a panorama of fair activities: farmers unloading produce behind a white fence, a child holding a chicken sits atop the same fence with carnival rides in the background, fairgoers admiring livestock behind the fence while others walk with balloons in their hands, and a sweets stand. Original artwork by Mick Wiggins.
History the stamp represents: One of the main events of any state or county fair is animal showing. Owners bring the best of the best of their horses, cows, pigs, and other animals to compete for the coveted blue ribbon. An organization that hosts many of these competitions is 4-H.
4-H is a worldwide organization for youth that encourages young people to reach their potential as well as go outside their comfort zone. 4-H is all about learning through experience and living up to their motto: “To make the best better.” As of 2019, 4-H had more than six million members in over 50 countries.
When young people join their local 4-H club, they have lots of different programs to choose from, but the most popular is plant and animal science. In this program, young people learn about agriculture, veterinary science, biotechnology, forestry, and raising and training animals. It is this last activity that brings many 4-H members to state and county fairs.
There are plenty of fun activities to do at fairs, but for 4-H members, it is all about showing off their skills in competition. Who will have the best-behaved pig or finest-looking chicken? In the end, victory is sweet, but the thrill of working hard and achieving a goal is the greatest prize of all.
