Greetings 4-H Families!
A lot has happened since our last family update! We’ve hosted six Zoom QA sessions, three Zoom Horse Education Programs, a virtual camp and a Camp at Home Challenge. The Senior Fair also announced that they are planning for a complete fair with modifications. At this time, I do not have word on what these modifications entail. Please know that we will share information with you as it is available. Many questions you have at this point may be awaiting more information before decisions can be made.
We appreciate your continued patience as we await guidelines related to 4-H programming held after July 6 and make changes to our traditional programming. When the University shares guidelines we will share them!
This email does provide updates about 4-H Still Project Judging, Speaking Contests, Camp Scholarship Winners, Junior Fair Livestock Skillathon, Junior Fair Entry Update, QA/Horse Education Programs and Royalty.
Be safe and be well!
-Jamie
