SHOOTING SPORTS UPDATE
Dear Shooting Sports participants,
The 2020 Cass County Shooting Sports contest (originally postponed from July 25) has now been CANCELLED. Between the delay in starting the season, rising COVID cases in our county, NGPC shooting sports range construction delays, and inability for youth to practice with leaders to develop their firearm skills, our office in conjunction with the Shooting Sports Superintendents has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s shooting sports contest. Please be in contact with your club leader and plan to join us next year for the 2021 season. If you or your club has any questions, please reach out to our office via email or phone.

🐶4-H STATE DOG SHOW AUGUST 10TH 2020🐶 IS NOW CANCELED!
The 4-H State Dog Show Team has been working hard on hosting the 2020 State 4-H Dog Show while keeping participants safe and socially distanced. Unfortunately due to the current restriction of large gatherings on campus, current Directed Health Measures, and conflicting schedules for many of our exhibitors, we have made the decision to cancel the event. We know this is disappointing; we were looking forward to hosting all of you!
In place of the 2020 State 4-H Dog Show, we will look to offer a 4-H Dog Show/Expo in the spring of 2021. We’re looking at February or March dates as well as various locations. Please watch for more information and opportunities to give your input.
Thanks to all for your interest in the 4-H Dog Program! Let us know if there are questions.

👉4-H VIRTUAL PROJECT SHOWCASE👈
2020 is a unique year and we are so proud of the work 4-H youth have done across the state despite challenging circumstances. We want to honor the work our youth have done by providing a platform to highlight their exceptional projects and the valuable learning opportunities they have experienced. We would like to introduce a Nebraska 4-H Virtual Project Showcase opportunity for all 4-H members across the state! We invite all enrolled youth to submit any 4-H project (static, animal projects, contests, etc.) for showcase with which they have learned a lot from this year or that they are particularly proud of, regardless of the award it received through judging or the ability to have that project judged at the county level.
About the 4-H Virtual Project Showcase:
- Any 4-H enrolled youth of regular 4-H age statewide, can submit one project to highlight for their year.
- A complete submission will include:
o Name, Age, County, project area they are choosing to highlight
o Description of their project
o 1 photo of their project
o Why they chose to highlight that particular project?
o What did they learn from completing their 4-H project(s) in 2020?
- How will photos and quotes be used: Photos, along with some quotes, gathered through submission process are tentatively planned to showcase digitally during the 2020 Nebraska State Fair (location TBD), be share on social media, and displayed in the Pick Your Project.
- Submissions due: for a chance to be showcased at the Nebraska State Fair, submit by August 10th
