At a celebratory banquet on September 17, the Elkhart County 4-H Fair unveiled its 2025 theme, "Taste the Flavor, Share the Fun," along with an eye-catching new logo. Randi Yoder, the Fair’s President-elect and current Concessions Director, spearheaded the creative process alongside his daughter Stephanie, with support from his wife Anita. Together, they crafted a design that celebrates the fair’s cherished traditions while embodying the excitement of what's to come.

Highlighting the fair’s iconic food scene, Yoder emphasized, “We have over 75 food locations, and ‘Taste the Flavor’ captures what we want all our guests to experience.” Food has long been a central draw of the event, and this year’s theme aims to elevate that experience, promising attendees a vibrant showcase of local flavors.

The newly revealed logo is packed with symbolism. At its center is the 4-H clover, representing the fair’s roots in youth development and agriculture. The backdrop features a rich blue, symbolizing the blue ribbons that participants aspire to win, while the gold plate signifies the high standards upheld by the fair's organizers, staff, and volunteers.

As one of the Midwest’s largest county fairs, the 2025 event, scheduled for July 18-26 at the Elkhart County 4-H Fairgrounds, promises to build on its legacy of fun, family-friendly attractions. Yoder, who will officially take on the role of Fair Board President in October 2024, is committed to creating an unforgettable experience.

“The goal is to ‘Share the Fun’ of everything the fair offers—whether it’s food, rides, or 4-H competitions,” Yoder noted, as he looks forward to continuing the fair’s tradition of excellence.
