The Knox County Spring Clean-up event will be held in the month of April. This event is opened to all youth and adult organizations to help remove litter from the roadways in Knox County. Participating groups select the roadways they wish to clean and perform the services. Once collected, the bags of litter can be transported to the Knox County Fairgrounds on May 1st for disposal. By participating in the event, groups provide a community service of removing litter from our county roadways. The event has been approved to return after last year’s cancellation due to COVID-19. The Knox County Health Department requires masks and social distancing for participating groups and the drop-off event.

What will we do?
Once again, this year we will be doing a turkey pool for all turkey exhibitors. All exhibitors will need to purchase their poults through the pool to show at the 2021 Knox County Junior Fair. We feel this will benefit the exhibitors with all of them starting on a level playing field.
The turkey poults will need to be purchased by Friday, February 12 by 5 p.m. with the enclosed order form. You will have to purchase at least four per exhibitor but can order more if you wish. If we do not receive your orders by that date you will not be eligible to show turkeys at the 2021 Knox County Junior Fair. Each poult will cost $6.00. Please mail your order form and check made out to….

PO Box 1268
Mount Vernon, OH 43050
Pick up for the birds will be March 3 from 2 – 5 p.m. at the Ramser 4-H Activity Center. Be prepared by having a carrying container with some material in the bottom so the poults do not slide around. You should also have your housing location prepared with feed, water, and a heat source ready to receive the birds.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Knox County OSU Extension Office at 740-397-0401.

Starting this year, the procedure for becoming a Knox County 4-H Volunteer has been converted to an online process. The first step is to click on: https://go.osu.edu/knoxvolapp and fill it out the application in it’s entirety. We will have a deadline for any new volunteer joining us in 2021 to have this completed by January 15. Applications will not be accepted after this date.
In the application, you will need to list three references with email addresses. A reference form will be automatically sent to the email address provided for them to fill out on your behalf. If you have references that you would like to use that do not have email, please contact me directly and I can send them a hard copy to fill out. Once two of your three references have been returned we will contact you for an interview. At that point if we deem you acceptable to continue the process, you will need to complete a background check. The information to conduct that will be given to you at the time of your interview.
The last step in the process is attend a 4-H Volunteer Kickoff session. I have attached the 2021 New 4-H Kickoff Flyer for our NEW 4-H Volunteer Kickoff so that you can plan accordingly and mark one of them on your calendar.
Please reach out if you have questions or concerns.
