Do you hope to exhibit with 4-H at the Minnesota State Fair? All 4-H livestock exhibitors must complete livestock quality assurance training. Youth in 3-5 grades who exhibit in the swine project are also asked to complete this training.

County fair is going to be here before we know it. Families are busy preparing in different ways - registering for the classes to exhibit in, working with their projects, thinking about how they can volunteer, etc. There are a lot of pieces to think about and it can be overwhelming, especially if this is a newer part of your life. Some of our seasoned youth and adult volunteers would like to help make this experience a smoother one.

This is a great way to learn more about outdoor gardening, get some of your gardening questions answered and help play a role in creating pollinator friendly environments.

Each year the SE region puts together an invitational project bowl contest for teams to participate in prior to the regional competitions. This event is intended to be a place for teams to become familiar with the regional competition rules, how the contest is run, and allow new teams a place to ‘get their feet wet’
