2024 Mid-Winter Youth Activities

Youth Scholarships

The Oregon State Federation of Square and Round Dance Clubs (OFSRDC) has youth scholarships available for youth who would like to attend state sponsored activities such as Mid-Winter but may not be able to due to the expense. Please contact Karyn Buchheit if you have a youth dancer who needs financial assistance at buchheitfarmkm@gmail.com

General Information

The Youth Activity Table is located in the Mainstream Hall next to the Adventure Dance Area. Youth ribbons will be available as well as any information you need as a youth dancer at Mid-Winter. The fairgrounds has asked that there be a "No bare feet" rule due to liability issues.
