Family Guide

Have you started thinking about the 2021 4-H year?  If so, you can start picking your projects too by browsing the new Family Guide.

This edition of the Family Guide has some important changes:

• Please take a look at the idea starters on page 29. Instead of having their own enrollment numbers, each idea starter is assigned to a topic area that corresponds to a self-determined class at state fair. The idea is to make it easier to select delegates for those hard-to-keep-track-of state fair classes. If a county mimics these fair classes, even if they are judged by one person, it should be easier to extend state fair opportunities. Members doing their own self-determined projects—as opposed to using an idea starter—enroll in the topic area that is the best fit.
• The Project Guide in the back now includes a column for “multi-year” projects, those non-livestock project books intended to take more than one year to complete. Assuming they complete a project as intended, members can enroll for the number of years indicated and continue to use the same project book. These are mostly project books from National 4-H, but we have a few of our own, like Family History Treasure Hunt and Ohio Birds.
