4-H Record Book Deadline July 1

Wells County 4-H members are busy finishing their project manuals and records (what can be completed) so that they can be checked by the 4-H Club Leader on or before July 1. Once members have their manuals and records checked, the 4-H Club Leader will issue them a signed certificate stating they have completed the required activities. This certificate will be shown upon check-in at the 4-H Fair Expo Hall (non livestock projects) and at the 4-H Park West Road (livestock projects). Dog and cat exhibits will be checked at a June workshop or club meeting. Members who do not have a signed certificate from their leaders will not be able to check their 4-H projects in at the 4-H Fair.

Livestock members should complete as much of the feed record sheet as they can. Once the 4-H Auction is finished you will be able to finish your record and turn it in.

Club boxes will be on display in the Community Center for members to turn in the finished record notebooks and folders during the 4-H Fair.

Mini 4-H members rules remain the same. They simply complete their project exhibit and bring it to the 4-H fair.

The Wells County 4-H Council along with the 4-H Association and 4-H Leaders all endorse the July 1 rule, which helps encourage youth to complete their entire projects. For more information about record books, check your Wells County 4-H rule book or contact your 4-H club leader or the Wells County Office of the Purdue Cooperative Extension Service, 260-824-6412
