End of the Year Survey

by
  • I have wanted to do this survey for the last few years, so I’m happy to ask for your feedback in this survey! It covers the 4-H Program, Jr Fair Program as well as some information specific to advisors.
  • PLEASE complete the survey BY OCTOBER 1 – I encourage you to be constructive and honest in your responses. We can’t improve or change if we’re not told what does/doesn’t work! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions regarding the survey. 
  • The survey will likely take about 10-15 minutes of your time as it is fairly lengthy.

Congratulations to our 4-H Members!

2024 HENRY COUNTY 4-H SPECIAL INTEREST – RESULTS (Click Here)

  • State Fair Delegates will need to contact the Extension Office to let us know if you plan on going to the Ohio State Fair – you will need to make arrangements to pick up your packets in order to attend. Tickets are limited and will be first come – first served.
  • The Ohio State Fairgrounds is under heavy construction and there will be NO parking passes available (just managing expectations).
  • Morgan will be back in the office tomorrow at 8:30a for you to begin picking packets up! (I’m judging in Kenton, OH today)
  • Members may view project-specific information for the Ohio State Fair at: https://ohio4h.org/nonlivestockguidebook

Project Judging REMINDERS!

by

It’s that time of the year 4-H Families!

Next week shows off all the hard work you’ve put into your project so far this year! I have a few reminders to help you put those finishing touches on this weekend!

LIVESTOCK SKILLATHONS=

STILL-PROJECT JUDGING=

If you are unable to attend judging, please email me so we can make appropriate arrangements. Emily & myself will not be in the office Monday thru Thursday as we are conducting judging. Email is your best route of communication!

All skillathon kits will be at the fairgrounds on Monday, so they will not be available to review on Monday.

This is the home stretch! You can do it! Be yourself and show off all your hard work! You’ve got this!

Project Judging & Upcoming Jr Fair Update

by

Hi All!

Here are some reminders as we enter the home stretch before Judging!

Judging Schedule for Livestock & Still Projects can be found at: https://u.osu.edu/henry4h/project-judging-skillathons/

LIVESTOCK SKILLATHONS= 

Livestock Skillathon Kits will NOT be rented out after July 1 – if you choose to practice our full-sized kits, you will need to make an appointment to come in and practice at the office.

Keep in mind there are study guides at the link above & the 2024 Rubrics for this year are also listed (it is the same material as last year).

THINGS DUE BEFORE/AT SKILLATHON…

***The goal is to have the “Traffic Flow” at fair available to hand to families DURING SKILLTHONS! (hang in there guys, I’m working on it… I may still have a graphic ready for you to access today!)***

STILL-PROJECT JUDGING=

Keep in mind we have tips & tricks you can check out to make your Judging a little easier at: https://u.osu.edu/henry4h/resources/still-project-resources/

Be sure to cross reference your Still-Project Handbook to make sure you have “all” of your items ready for judging.

Also keep in mind our Project Grade Guidelines (no longer A, B, C) this is located on page 8 of the Still-Project Handbook.

Questions about Ohio State Fair Exhibition can be found on page 9 of the Handbook, but schedule of events can be found here: https://ohio4h.org/nonlivestockguidebook

CAN’T ATTEND JUDGING=

Hi Families!

Thanks to all that have gotten your FairEntries done! A few reminders as tomorrow is the deadline…

  • Here is a video on completing the FairEntries since I will be unavilable tomorrow. FairEntry made a few changes since I made this video, but it is all generally the same
    • Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIrz7PyXYrI&t=1s
    • FairEntry Link: http://henry-countyohio.fairentry.com/
      • Enter using the 4-HOnline “Green Button” Log-on
    • BE SURE YOU HAVE SIGNED UP FOR SHOWMANSHIP! I’m seeing LOTS of entries that do not have Showmanship Added!
      • You can verify if you have/have not signed up by looking at the FairEntry Confirmation email.
      • PLEASE don’t email me asking if you’re signed up! Check out your emails, if it’s not there, just log back in to FairEntry & sign up!
  • Thanks to the families that hopped on the New Camp Family Zoom last night! We had some great questions about what to expect, so be sure to check out the recording. There WILL be one more reminder email going out on Monday, so stay tuned for that!

Have a Happy Weekend!
