2024 Scholarship Opportunity with OSBA

Attention all beekeeping 4-H’ers

Advisors: Please share with any youth in your clubs who are beekeepers!

Scholarship Information for 2024 Applicants

Ohio State Beekeepers Association supports new young beekeepers through our Youth Scholarship Program. We realize that the success of a new beekeeper is not reliant on the student’s work and money alone but on the partnership’s effort. Thus, the Youth Scholarship Program encourages the participation of parents/guardians, 4-H/FFA Ohio advisers, local Ohio associations, and mentors.  Recipients will receive the supplies for two hives, membership to the OSBA and more. Deadline to apply is Sept. 16.

The number of scholarships available per year will vary based on the number of available funds and donations. The number will be posted each year on the OSBA website. For 2024 there will be 10 scholarships available: 5 designated for 4-H and 5 designated for FFA

Livestock Sale Buyer Cards

Fair is just around the corner, time to get excited!

I want to let all market exhibitors know who will be participating in the sale this year that sale buyer photos are to be brought by the exhibitors similar to last year. You may turn them in at Skillathon Saturday, August 19th or they can be turned in to the extension office. They are due Monday September 4th at the latest and can be turned in at the barn meeting at that point. With that in mind, please note that the pictures given MUST be in the CORRECT Format. Pictures must be horizontal orientation as well as the child  MUST be dressed appropriately, keep in mind some buyers may hang their photos up in businesses or somewhere for all to see so dress your best! If they are not in correct format or not what has been specified below the pictures may be refused. Please see the photo attached below for what is expected for the photos.

This year kids will also be expected to pick up their photos during the sale to hand deliver to the buyers. This avoids the issues of buyers not checking out and not receiving their cards forcing them to be mailed and potentially still not being received.

If you have any questions please call the office! 740-962-4854

 

Cloverbud Day Camp Recap!

Cloverbud Day Camp has come and gone. All who attended had lots of fun visiting Camp Hervida for the day! Our theme this year was “All About 4-H” The youth got to experience what 4-H Camp is like while also learning more about 4-H!

The whole day was planned by our Older Youth in Training and Junior Leaders. They all did a great job!

Our rotations this year included a session learning about the 4-H pledge and motto, making a stepping stone, and decorating a clover shaped cookie.

A big thank you to our adult staff, camp counselors and older youth that all came out to help this day run smoothly.
