Happy Easter!

Happy Easter 4-H Families!

 

There’s been some GREAT additions to the blog this week folks! Some might not come through as they are “page updates” so here’s a list of changes & updates…

  • All RESOURCES are under the “Resource Page” now – this includes: Dog Resources, Teen Opportunities, Advisor Resources, Club Resources, Officer Resources, Horse Resources, Livestock Resources & Still-Project Resources.
    • This makes the toolbar a little less cluttered [for Morgan’s OCD :)]
  • Dog Resources – We’ve added this page for our Dog Project kiddos! I encourage you guys to check it out! The 2023 Dog Member Packet is located here & has all of the Dog “Worknights” listed – be sure to take a look!
  • Still-Project Resources – The new 2023 Rubrics are UPDATED! Check them out! We’ll have more resources being added here soon as well!
  • Livestock Resources – If you take a livestock project, I encourage you to check this resource out occasionally [or every week for those overachievers!]. I’m steadily adding new information such as Learning Resources for families seeking more information for their Livestock Project!
    • For Example – this week:
      • Dairy Resources: OSU resources & 2023 Dairy Palooza Information
      • Poultry Resources: Youth Poultry Webinar Series
      • Swine Resources: Market Tag Sign-up, National Swine Registry Education Resources
      • Beef Cattle: OSU Beef Webinar Recordings & Resources
      • Goats & Sheep: OSU Small Ruminant Webinar Recordings, Market Goat Showmanship Resource, Judging Market Goat Resource
      • Rabbit Resources: Success for Market Rabbits. Rabbit Basics for the Beginner & more!
  • Camps – 2023 Cloverbud Camp Registration is LIVE! Be sure to get your Cloverbud member signed up!
  • Communication & Expressive Arts Contest – Updated for 2023 – Classes Removed: Themed Table Setting, Health & Safety Contest & PSA
    • 2023 Contest Date: June 13, 2023 – Registration due June 1!
  • Royalty Information – We’ve added the Henry Co. Cattlemen’s Beef Ambassador Application, if interested, be sure to check it out!
    • Be sure to submit ALL royalty applications NO LATER THAN MAY 1st!

2023 Dairy Palooza

by
Easter is quickly approaching. However, get in your DairyPalooza registrations so we can assure everyone of their souvenir t-shirt. The form and information is on the Ohio 4-H Dairy Palooza Facebook Page or contact Bonnie Ayars (ayars.5@osu.edu)
We are anxiously awaiting your response and attendance for the 2023 version of Palooza. Remember there is QA training available and many dairy related workshop sessions. All takes place at the Wayne County Fairgrounds Coliseum on April 22.
