LqP 4-H is looking for youth and adult volunteers to help with various aspects of the County Fair and County judging events. Please contact the Extension office if you are willing to help.
State Fair orientation is a MUST for all state fair trip winners
Tuesday, August 7 is the night all State Fair paperwork must be completed - for general and livestock exhibitors. This is also Livestock Achievement Night.
If your 4-H animal loses it's 4-H ear tag, you must immediately report the missing tag to the Extension Office for documentation. Please don't wait until Entry Day! A replacement tag will be put in when the animal is entered at the County Fair.
Please remember that the Cloverbud policy states: When animals and Cloverbuds are together in 4-H activities, such as fairs and shows, an adult/responsible person will be in control of the animal (control means to handle and/or lead the animal).
In her last article as Minnesota 4-H state leader, Dorothy Freeman encourages all youth, volunteers and families to be fearless in growing true leaders.
Volunteers give much to the Minnesota 4-H program! Consider nominating an outstanding volunteer for a 2019 4-H Salute to Excellence Award. All nomination materials are due by Sept. 15, 2018.
Powerful things happen for youth when they're in a positive relationship with caring adults. The 2018 annual volunteer training, "4-H Grows Relationships," will ready youth and adult volunteers to connect to young people in meaningful ways. Watch for dates and locations across the state this fall and plan to bring a team of youth and adult volunteers.
Make sure your club explores these new zoonotic disease and agritourism resources being sent to every county across the state. Then enter your team into a video contest for a chance at winning a Glo-Germ lesson kit for your group - The winning team will have the chance to work with a professional videographer to re-produce their video as a commercial for national distribution!
Again in 2018 the Minnesota Livestock Breeders Association will be providing $30 cash awards to all 4-H members who complete a livestock demonstration during 4-H livestock weekend at the Minnesota State Fair. Start planning your livestock demonstration today!
Two scholarships are being offered for Minnesota 4-H youth pursuing post-secondary studies at accredited colleges and universities. Over $58,000 is awarded annually through a competitive application process.
