You are encouraged to contact the appropriate county office to confirm details before attending.
2019 Poultry Stall Sheet Correction
The 2019 Poultry Stall Sheet given to club volunteers for distribution during book order appointments listed an incorrect requirement for Market Duck exhibition at the fair. The 2019 Muskingum County 4-H Family Handbook also lists the incorrect project requirement for 150DM: Market Duck on page 21.
The corrected stall sheet is now available on our website: Poultry Registration & Stall Sheet
According to 2019 Junior Fair Rule Changes: Market Duck classes – two birds of any gender can be shown in this class. (Previously required to show a pair of male White Pekins, which is what the handbook and previous stall sheet reflect).

Junior Camp Registrations are due to the Extension Office by May 15, 2019 at 4:30 p.m. This is not a postmark deadline.
We strongly encourage you to turn in registrations early because they are processed as they are received. High ropes and lamp all have a maximum number who can register. While we don’t wish to turn anyone away, there is a limit to what 4-H Camp Ohio facilities and our camp team can handle. Any registration received after we reach our maximum will be placed on a wait list and contacted if space becomes available.
