The Morris County 4-H Horse Show was held on Thursday, July 24, 2025, at the Diamond L Arena in Dwight, Kansas. This year’s fair theme, “Deep Roots, Dusty Boots,” highlights the community’s strong connection to the ranching heritage of the Flint Hills. 4-H members competed in a variety of classes, including Halter, Performance, Ranch, and Timed Event categories. Special thanks go to Tad, Gayle, and Cheyenne Larson for generously allowing the use of their indoor facility.
