4-H Enrollment
The anticipated date for enrollment to open for the new 4-H year is October 15! Watch for communications once the date has been confirmed.
While youth may enroll in 4-H at any time during the year, they must be enrolled by no later than June 15 to participate in County and State Fair. Other projects, such as shooting sports or robotics, may require earlier enrollment to participate in practices or events. Please contact the Extension Office if you have questions or would like more information.
Fall Carnival
Fall Carnival is coming up. Every family will receive a letter with club responsibilities and raffle tickets. Please work with your club or check to see what your responsibilities are as an independent member to help make this event successful. This is our biggest fundraiser and it helps support every aspect of 4-H from static exhibits, shooting sports and livestock! Please reach out to the Extension Office if you don't receive your letter.
Awards Celebration
The 4-H Awards celebration will feature an ice cream social! Join us for sweet treats and a chance to celebrate your hard work this past year. Sunday, October 26 starting at 3pm at the Cheyenne County Fairgrounds.
