There were 1,044 fair exhibits entered by 104 4-H members in the 2022 Geary County Free Fair. According to information provided by Geary County KSU Research and Extension each exhibit was evaluated to give feedback to  the members on what they have done well and how they can improve. 

Through the fair, youth increase knowledge about their projects, but can also learn how to win and lose gracefully, and develop leadership and communication skills. 

Three judging contests were held during the fair.  55 4-H members participated in the Horticulture contest, 50 in the Photography contest and 46 in the Livestock contest. Judging contests are known to help youth develop skills in reasoning and decision making.
