Woodford County 4-H Show Overview

The Woodford County 4-H Show, based in Eureka, is a University of Illinois Extension-run youth exhibition at the Woodford County Fairgrounds — rather than a traditional county fair, it centers on 4-H project judging and livestock shows for county youth, in a prosperous central Illinois farming county where corn, soybean, and hog production define the local economy. Eureka College, alma mater of Ronald Reagan, anchors the small county seat.

Good to Know

Eureka College is where Ronald Reagan played football and acted before heading to Hollywood and then politics. The surrounding Woodford County cornfields are among Illinois' most productive, and the county's hog industry is a mainstay of the local agricultural economy.
