Monday, June 15 is the deadline for several 4-H deadlines for exhibiting at the Lancaster County Super Fair.

4-H MEMBER ONLINE ENROLLMENT
Nebraska 4-H has introduced a new online enrollment system, called “4-H Online.” Paper enrollment is no longer an option. The website to enroll is https://ne.4honline.com. The process is easy and only takes a few minutes per member. The health information is optional! NOTE: only parents/guardians may enroll 4-H members. Each 4-H household will need to set up a profile in which the 4-H youth for the household will be added. A step-by-step instruction guide with pictures is online at http://lancaster.unl.edu/4h/StepstoEnroll.pdf. If you have questions about the process or need access to a computer, contact Karen Evasco at kevasco2@unl.edu or 402-441-7180.

4-H PROJECTS UPDATED
4-H members’ projects must be updated by June 15 using “4-H Online” (see enrollment information above). These are project area(s) each member plans to enter at the Super Fair (specific classes within each project area not needed). NOTE: only 4-H members or their parents/guardians may update projects.

4-H VOLUNTEER ENROLLMENT FORMS
For now, volunteers and leaders must still enroll using the form at http://lancaster.unl.edu/4h/club/4henrollformleader.pdf by June 15. Mail or bring to the Extension office.

4-H/FFA ANIMAL OWNERSHIP AFFIDAVITS
All 4-H/FFA sheep, goats, swine, breeding beef, bucket calves, feeder calves, dairy cattle, llamas/alpacas and rabbits which will be exhibited at Super Fair, State Fair and/or Ak-Sar-Ben 4-H Stock Show must have Identification/Ownership Affidavits submitted by June 15. Paper forms (the forms that have been used previously) must be submitted for each animal. Paper forms are available online at http://lancaster.unl.edu/4h/fair and the Extension office. In addition, all animals which will be exhibited at the 2015 Nebraska State Fair and/or Ak-Sar-Ben Stock Show (except Dairy and Horse) must be entered via the online “Ownership affidavit” form at http://livestockaffidavit.unl.edu. If you plan on showing market swine, market sheep, market goats or feeder calves at State Fair or Ak-Sar-Ben, you will need to have DNA collected by this deadline also. If you have any questions, contact Cole at cmeador2@unl.edu or 402-441-7180.

MARKET ANIMAL QUALITY ASSURANCE TRAINING
4-H/FFA members showing market beef, market sheep, market swine, meat and dairy goats, dairy cattle, poultry and rabbits at the Lancaster County Super Fair, State Fair and/or Ak-Sar-Ben must complete Quality Assurance training by June 15. NOTE: this is a correction from an earlier Nebline which said Quality Assurance training is not required for the Super Fair. Livestock exhibitors showing only breeding animals and horse exhibitors do not have to complete it. Quality Assurance certification for State Fair and Ak-Sar-Ben must be done online -- this year, there is a $5 per youth charge. Instructions are online at http://4h.unl.edu/qualityassurance. If you have any questions, contact Cole at cmeador2@unl.edu or 402-441-7180.
