We are excited to share that effective June 15, 4-H Clubs can meet in person if they follow current Directed Health Measures that are applicable for that county and Guidelines for 4-H Meetings, which can be found at https://4h.unl.edu/documents/COVID-4H-Meeting-Guidelines-052820.pdf. Please share this information with your clubs.

Based on your questions/comments, we are continuing to collect data on what county fairs are planning so you can better share ideas with each other and build upon best practices. If you haven’t done so already, please fill out the survey at: https://ssp.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cOawyfkJ1z1Gtq5
Given COVID and the current status of cases in Hall County, the State Horse Show will be virtual this year. It was a tough decision and we know this is another disappointment for youth and their families. Thanks to the Horse Advisory Committee and all of you who have helped with this process. More information on the virtual show can be found at: https://4h.unl.edu/state-horse-expo.
As always, let us know how we can help. Your work is a game changer for young people statewide!
