Over 700 shirts were distributed to 4-H and Clover Kid club leaders at their fair prep leaders’ meeting. Federation Bank of Washington, Brighton, Wellman, and Richland sponsored the Washington County Fair T-shirts for 2023.

Uniquely this year the front logo was designed by senior 4-H member of the Green Acres 4-H Club Bailey Rees. "We traditionally redesign about every five years or so and I knew Bailey had some skills and passion in this year," explained Amy Green, Washington County 4-H & Youth Coordinator. "She was outstanding to work with during the redesign. She is creative, organized, driven, and asks great questions. I love what she created for us and what a neat lasting mark for her to leave on our program this senior year of hers."

4-Hers, Clover Kids and leaders wear these annual fair shirts while participating in livestock and non-livestock events at the county fair as well as other 4-H events throughout the year. Matt McWhirter of Federation Bank was present with club leaders to present the shirts.
