Several Lancaster County 4-H youth participated in the Dog Quiz Bowl and Dog Skill-a-thon at the 2016 Companion Animal Challenge.

The third 4-H Companion Animal Challenge will be held on Saturday, April 1 at the Animal Science Complex on UNL’s East Campus (same date as 4-H Horse Stampede.) It provides youth a chance to participate in a variety of contests that do not require animals, but allow youth to learn more about their dog, cat, rabbit or other companion animals.

Contests include:
• Demonstrations (a presentation where youth demonstrate how to complete a task or related to the care of their companion animal)
• Photography and art contests (open to all companion animal projects)
• Dog quiz bowl
• Dog skill-a-thon

Lancaster County 4-H Council will pay the contest entry fees for Lancaster County 4-H’ers. Entry forms are due to the Extension office no later than March 6. T-shirts may be pre-ordered for $5. Box lunches will be available for $8 and must be pre-ordered.
