Hello 4-H Families,
I know you have all been anxiously waiting for details regarding our 2020 Marshall County 4-H Fair. Unfortunately, I do not have those details for you yet. The 4-H Extension Staff, 4-H Council, and 4-H Fair Board have been working hard to determine what the best option for our fair will look like. We are in contact with the local health department to see what extra precautions we might need to take. We want to stress that 4-H judging and shows will look very different this year, but 4-H teaches resiliency and flexibility and we have no doubt that our 4-H members, families, and volunteers will demonstrate first-hand these life skills during this unique year. We have many, many people working very hard right now to plan safe, educational experiences that will allow youth to showcase their hard work this year.
Livestock members, I know you are getting worried about tags and inputting information into 4HOnline. You will be okay! I am not entirely sure what the ID process will look like yet.
Exhibit Building members, I know we said to have your information in by June 1st as I was hoping we would have a decision by then. However, this decision has been tremendously hard and we want what is best for the youth, family, and volunteers. Thus, we will move your add/drop deadline to July 1st.
Again please know that we are working hard on your behalf. Continue to be patient and kind. If you have questions please email Kelsey.
Thank you!
