The Nebraska 4-H Video Companion Animal Showmanship Contest provides youth an opportunity to showcase their knowledge and skills they have developed in their 4-H companion animal project. This statewide contest is open to youth ages 10–18 who are enrolled in one of these companion animal projects: cat, ferret, guinea pig or rodent (mice, rats, hamsters or gerbils). Information, rules and regulations are at https://4h.unl.edu/companion-animal/showmanship-contest.
Lancaster County 4-H staff will record videos for 4-H youth at the Lancaster Extension Education Center, 444 Cherrycreek Road, Lincoln. Youth need to bring their animal, a cage or kennel, proper attire and if required, Cat and Ferret Vaccination Form. Youth should thoroughly review the rules and regulations before participating. County staff will then submit entries to state 4-H. Contact Vicki at 402-441-7180 to schedule a recording time by Friday, July 26.
