Month: April 2021

LAST CHANCE: Project Change Deadline is April 30th

by

The deadline to make any project enrollment changes or fix any mistakes is Friday, April 30, 2021. After this deadline NO changes will be made to 4-H project enrollments for 2021. Please ensure that all of your projects are correct as what you are enrolled for is what you will be able to make entries for for both the Ohio State Fair and the Hartford Independent Fair. If you see any mistakes with your enrollment, please reach out to Adrienne Anderson at anderson.1410@osu.edu to have it corrected. This is also a great time to make sure that all of your contact information, especially mailing address, are correct as this is the information the fair will use to mail verification forms and sale checks.

2021 Farmers Share Breakfast – May 1st

by

Please join us for the 2021 Farmers Share Breakfast on Saturday, May 1st from 8:00-10:00am. This year, the breakfast will be held at the McKean Community Building in Fredonia (6885 North St NW, Newark, OH 43055). Enjoy breakfast on location or take it to go. The cost of breakfast is a donation with all donations going to support Licking County 4-H members attending 4-H Summer Camp. We have been so fortunate for the support of the Licking County Farm Bureau and through those who donate through the breakfast. In 2019 this breakfast raised enough funds that we were able to take $30 of every member’s camp fee as well as additional amounts off for the children of Licking County Farm Bureau members and support several full and partial scholarships for 4-Hers to attend camp. Please consider stopping by for some breakfast. If you are unable to come to the breakfast, you can always make a donation to the Licking County Farm Bureau and designate it for the Farmers Share Breakfast.
