Step into a story as you explore the Franklin County Fairgrounds! The Storybook Trail is an interactive, family-friendly adventure featuring two 4-H characters—Ava, who raises livestock, and Mateo, a science-loving still project participant. As you follow their journey through colorful panels around the fairgrounds, you’ll discover fun facts, behind-the-scenes exhibits, and hands-on learning moments.

    •    Learn about animals, agriculture, and science
    •    Solve clues and look for hidden details
    •    Interact with real fair attractions like barns, tractors, and more
