We have extended our county deadline to accept registrations for volunteers and teens to attend the 2017 Ohio 4-H Conference on Saturday, March 10th, 2017 at the Columbus Convention Center through Wednesday, February 8th at 4:00 p.m.
The Ohio 4-H Conference is the largest gathering of 4-H volunteers in the United States! We welcome nearly 1,500 teen and adult volunteers to participate each year. The Ohio 4-H Conference is designed to equip participants with resources, information, and skills to meet the ever-changing needs of youth. Attendees have the opportunity to receive training in more than 125 different topics such as career exploration, risk management, camping, leadership, cake decorating, dancing, animal sciences, and much more.
In addition to the educational sessions, the day features the Bob Evans Farms 4-H Volunteer Recognition Luncheon for the adults highlighting the extraordinary accomplishments of volunteers. The teens (age 13 and older) have a luncheon that recognizes their peers and often features a keynote speaker. Fairfield County youth Natalyn Landis and Emma Newell are being added to the Teen Hall of Fame! Some advisors are being honored as well…please consider attending session 704 to celebrate with them.
Need some 4-H bling? We have that too! Our Marketplace features a variety of 4-H items, including apparel, to purchase. Representatives are available to speak to you about fundraising opportunities for 4-H clubs, project books, and more.

Completed registration forms, along with the $35 payment (checks made to 4-H Advisory Committee) are due to the Fairfield County Extension Office by 4 pm on Wednesday, February 8th, 2017.
