Enrollment Reminder

Don't forget that all 4-H members and 4-H adult volunteers need to enroll every year. It is important to get this done as soon as possible. You can complete your enrollment here.

It is also important for 4-H adult volunteers to complete the safety trainings. If you prefer to complete them in person, our last in-person training will be on January 19 at 7:00 pm in the fair board room.
