Dear 4-H Families & Volunteers,
We have received word as of, March 25, 2020 from Ohio State University Extension Administration and Ohio 4-H that the prohibition of in-person programming has been extended from April 20 to May 15. This includes all 4-H programs, activities, and events. Please be aware this timeline may be extended beyond May 15. So as an update, the following is either canceled, postponed or will be offered virtually.
March 26 – Junior Fair Board Cancelled
March 27 – Jane’s Retirement Party – Cancelled
March 28 – Horse Committee Spaghetti Dinner and Square Dance – Cancelled
April 1 – Enrollment Deadline; If you have challenges with this deadline please contact Crystal for accommodations. She is entering enrollments at home and will be glad to take them electronically or at a drop off.

All camp counselor training including Piedmont U on April 10 as well as sessions on April 15, April 29, May 6, and May 20 are cancelled at this time. It is not likely that we will be able to have camp during the 1st week of June and are looking at alternatives at this time.
We realize that much of this is very disappointing for all of our 4-H family. But we are in this together and will come out stronger in the end. Hang in there, better days are coming!
