Lewis and Clark Extension Hosts Free 4-H Livestock DIY Expo Feb. 21

Lewis and Clark County Extension is staging a free, public‑facing 4‑H Livestock DIY Expo on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, starting at 10:45 a.m. MST in the Bill Hamilton 4‑H Building at the Lewis & Clark County Fairgrounds. The fairgrounds street address is 5 Silsbee Ave, Helena, MT 59602‑7704.

Online event listings show the expo as open to the public and list the 10:45 a.m. MST start time; one listing on AllEvents displays a "Notify me" button for ticket information rather than an explicit admission price. The event card on AllEvents also identifies Lewis and Clark County Extension as the host and displays the fairgrounds address and local timezone notation.

Lewis & Clark County Extension maintains a local office at 100 W. Custer Ave in Helena and can be reached by phone at (406) 447‑8346 for confirmation of admission policy, agenda and safety guidance. Extension staff listed on the agency page include 4‑H Youth Development Agent Alyssa Schmidt at (406) 447‑8349, Family Consumer Sciences / Community Vitality Agent Jane Wolery at (406) 447‑8042, and Administrative Support Lia Mendez. Email contacts on the Extension page are displayed with site email protection tokens.

The available listings do not include a published end time for the expo, a detailed agenda, or a list of demonstrations and exhibitors. Lewis & Clark County Extension materials elsewhere on its event pages note broader 4‑H activities in the county calendar such as the Lewis & Clark County 4‑H Fair registration windows and competition programming, but the specific DIY Expo schedule and activities were not posted in the captured listings.

Residents planning to attend should confirm on‑site details in advance; call the Extension office at (406) 447‑8346 or contact Alyssa Schmidt at (406) 447‑8349 for the most current information on admission, program agenda and any entry requirements. The fairgrounds facility is the Bill Hamilton 4‑H Building within the Lewis & Clark County Fairgrounds at 5 Silsbee Ave in Helena.
