JULY EDITION

All 4-H volunteers and staff are required to complete the Nebraska 4-H volunteer screening process. Volunteer screening is done in order to assure a safe, positive, and nurturing environment for all youth involved with the Nebraska 4-H programs and provide protection for the child, the volunteer, the educator, the 4-H Council, the Extension Board, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension.

Initial screening of volunteers and staff will occur when they sign up to volunteer or are employed as an Extension professional. Re-screening for volunteers will be done every five years by district regardless of when the original screening was completed. Volunteers are responsible for covering the screening fee at the time the screening is completed. Currently, the cost of the screening is $5.00. Please see click on the link below for more details.

County fair entries are due July 1.This date will apply to all FOUR county fairs: Blaine, Grant, Hooker and Thomas. A five day grace period will still be allowed for late-entries, with a late fee. As it currently reads in the fair book, NO LATE entries will be accepted, and no additions will be made beyond the five day grace period. Thank you for your understanding as our staff works hard to process fair entries, provide fair superintendent reports and print fair entry books in a timely fashion prior to fair.

Contact Shaniya for more information.
