The Winning 4-H Plan: Accommodations for Youth with Special Needs due April 15
The Winning 4-H Plan enables youth to tailor the 4-H experience to their needs and helps maintain a positive relationship between the youth’s family, 4-H volunteers, and the county 4-H professionals. Members who have previously submitted a request form do not need to submit again. Please contact the Extension Office directly to request changes for the current year. If no changes are requested, accommodations will be listed as they were the previous year.

Market Duck Correction to 4-H Owner’s Manual
At the recent Junior Fair Poultry Committee meeting, it was brought to my attention that the listed Market Duck requirement in the Muskingum County 4-H Owner’s Manual does not match the current Junior Fair rule. Market Duck exhibitors must bring a pair of White Pekins, but they are not required to be male.
The correction is reflected in the table below:
