At the Sequoyah County Free Fair, we follow the official Tulsa State Fair Book for class numbers. Exhibitors who qualify for a state fair entry will automatically be entered in the Tulsa State Fair unless they specifically request otherwise.

If an exhibitor intends to align with the Arkansas-Oklahoma State Fair instead, that must be communicated at the time of entry.

The 4‑H Cloverbud Program is designed to supplement and introduce Kindergarten — 2nd graders to the Sequoyah County 4‑H Program.

2025 Theme: Movies

Cupcake Wars is a fast-paced, hands-on cupcake decorating contest held at the Sequoyah County Fair. Open to 4-H members ages 8 and up, teams of two compete by decorating three cupcakes on-site based on a theme of their choice. Participants bring unfrosted cupcakes and untinted frosting, then have 30 minutes to decorate, clean up, and present their creations to the judges. Each team is judged on creativity, food safety, teamwork, and presentation. Champions in each age division earn a ribbon, bragging rights, and an invitation to the Achievement Banquet.

A non-competitive Cloverbud division (k-2) will be included based on participation.

Must register by August 28, 2025 by visiting the Sequoyah County OSU Extension Office, 120 E. Chickasaw, Suite 107, Sallisaw, OK. or calling 918.775.4838.

Healthy living is the core of 4-H and remains a foundation of our pledge. Although 4-H believes that healthy living habits of young people begin in the context of their families and communities, we strive to equip youth with healthy living knowledge and skills that will prepare them physically, emotionally and socially to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

The 4-H Food Showdown was developed by county Extension educators and state Extension specialist to address the need for a new, 4-H foods and nutrition experience.

This contest, modeled after such competitions as the Food Network’s “Chopped”, challenges teams of 4-H members to create a recipe using the 4 provided secret ingredients, and a common pantry. From these ingredients, team members must use their food and nutrition knowledge, creativity and leadership skills to prepare a recipe and put together a presentation for the judges. The presentation includes information about the serving size, nutritional value and steps taken to prepare the recipe.

The 4-H Food Showdown allows 4-H members to demonstrate their culinary and kitchen safety skills to judges and observers.
