4-H Blast
July 11th, 2024
Need a little help finishing up a workshop project? Sign up for a workshop-wrap up time to come into the office for some guidance finishing your project. Slots are 2 hours each; 4 youth per slot; 1 project/youth/slot (except for bead loom clasps - those take 10 minutes). Slots are open until full, or morning of. Please call the office if you have questions about the sign-up. We would love to assist youth in finishing any project they started during a summer workshop!
Interview Judging Time Sign-Up
It is a recommended, but not required, for youth to participate in interview judging. Interviewing is a great option if you want to share with the judge more about why and how you completed your project. Interviews are set for 15 minutes and we ask that you share no more than 2 projects during that time frame; 10 minutes will be for interviews with the last 5 minutes being for judging of projects/scoring. You are more than welcome to sign up for multiple judging areas.
Below, please find the direct links that will take you to the sign-ups. Please click on the area that you are interested in signing up for. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the Extension Office.
