State 4-H news this month
Updates about local showcases, 4-H at the Minnesota State Fair and summer camp options.
Extension Development/Minnesota 4-H is happy to announce 2021 Helping Hands Award recipients. Of the 19 applications we received, all projects totaling $26,285 were awarded to 4-H clubs and over 22 counties across the state. Thank you to all the applicants and congratulations to this year's recipients!
2021 livestock day camp registration is now open! There are five locations across the state to select from (Roseau, Hubbard, Cottonwood, Sibley, Polk/Norman). The camps are intended for youth who have completed grades 6+ to learn more in-depth about a particular animal species.
We want 4-H to be a place for all youth regardless of their differing abilities and needs. Join other volunteers from across the state on Thursday, May 6 at 6:30 p.m. to learn how to better support young people in your 4-H group with disabilities. 4-H staff will share both personal and professional experiences working with this unique audience, help you learn how to identify those who may need different or extra supports, share tips and resources, and provide an opportunity for participants to share and hear from others about their experiences.
Sign-up today for the 2021 Engineering Design Challenge! For youth in grades 3 through 12. Great for developing creativity, problem solving and communication skills while working with a team of others.
Critical changes for families who exhibit market swine with 4-H at the Minnesota State Fair and reminder of Minnesota State Fair swine policy for biosecurity in regard to multi-show exhibitors.
