The annual 4-H Horse Stampede will be held Saturday, March 10 at the UNL Animal Science Building on East Campus. Stampede includes the 4-H state horse-related competitions which do not require a horse: Horse Bowl, Public Speaking, Demonstration and Art and Photography.

The contests are open to 4-H’ers ages 10–18 enrolled in the 4-H horse project (with the exception of the Art and Photography contests are open to all 4-H’ers ages 8–18).

There will be no concession stand on-site — box lunches will be available for $8 and must be pre-ordered.
