What is 4-H?

4-H is an educational program for youth age 5-19 which is based on interactive and hands-on activities.

The 4-H Program includes membership in community clubs, individual projects, group activities, camping, and more. The purpose of Ohio 4-H is to provide youth development programs and opportunities that assist youth and adult volunteers in reaching their fullest potential by becoming positive, capable, competent, and caring citizens.

Other special interest programs include CARTEENS, county and state 4-H camps, and 4-H Science Saturdays.

This handbook provides information primarily for

members of our community clubs program.

For Information about other 4-H programs, please contact The Ohio State University Extension,

Wyandot County at 419-294-4931.

bers of any age who have little to no experience

in the project area.

Intermediate Level projects are designed for

those members who have previous experience in

the project area, or have completed the beginner

level projects.

Advanced Level projects are designed for mem-

bers who have completed the intermediate level

projects and / or have extensive experience in

the project area.

Changes for 2018

Competition & Sportsmanship

4-H project and club work is designed to provide

learning experiences for our youth. While the 4-H

program does promote the healthy competition,

the focus of 4-H is to build leadership, citizenship

and life skills.

Please remember that the blue ribbon, trophy, or

other award is not the end goal.

Project Member Program Project Members must enroll in an approved, chartered 4-H Community Club and select at least one 4-H project.

Members may enroll in more than one club, provided they select at least one project with each club.

While assistance is sometimes available from 4-H volunteers, it is the member’s responsibility to complete their projects and keep track of any deadlines associated with them.

Each member must complete an enrollment form (whether returning or new) listing each project that will be taken — and sign the Code of Conduct.

In order for a member to compete for awards, completed enrollment forms must be submitted no later than Monday, April 2, 2018.

**Members are strongly encouraged to limit their projects to only those which they are

capable of completing by scheduled judging

date.**

Who Can Join 4-H?

Ohio 4-H membership is based on a child’s age AND grade as of January 1 of the current calendar year. Eligibility for Cloverbud participation begins when a child is age 5 and enrolled in kindergarten.

Eligibility for participation in 4-H projects and competitive events begins when a child is age 8 and in third grade.

Any youth age 9 or above is eligible for project membership, regardless of grade level.

Membership requires enrollment in an authorized Ohio 4-H club or group under the direction of an OSU Extension professional or an approved adult volunteer. A youth’s 4-H eligibility ends December 31 the year he or she turns 19. Joining Ohio 4 H is a privilege and responsibility for individuals and is subject to the Ohio 4-H Code of Conduct and applicable policies of The Ohio State University.

4-H Membership

Enrollment Deadlines

ALL Members .............................. April 2rd All project drop/add/change ....... May 15th Members enrolling after the above deadlines will be registered as non-traditional members. Non-traditional members may still participate in club activities and complete a project, but they are not eligible to participate in county competitions, receive awards, compete at the Ohio State Fair, or exhibit livestock at the Wyandot County Fair. Drop/Add forms MUST be completed by member and signed by their advisor and turned in to the OSU Extension Office.

Member Fees

Project Members ............................ $10 Includes books for up to 5 projects There may be extra book fees involved with some projects. Individual club policies will determine pay-ment methods for these additional book fees.

Cloverbuds Program The Cloverbud Program is activity based, meaning they complete short-term activities at meetings, and not projects at home.

Cloverbud leaders challenge the youth to explore a variety of topics through hands-on and interactive experiences.

Cloverbud members are not eligible for most out of county activities, competitive events, residential camps, and/or projects designed for 8-19 year olds. They may also not hold a club office.

Non-competitive public presentations (speeches, demonstrations, poster displays, etc.) are encouraged for Cloverbuds at the club and county level.

Cloverbuds may display items at the county fair for exhibit purposes only. Those projects are not judged competitively. Youth are not permitted to bring livestock to the fair through Cloverbuds.

There is also a special Cloverbud Fun Day held

annually.

4-H Membership

Membership Across

County Lines

Youth are required to join the 4-H Program in their county of residence or receive approval ahead of time for membership outside of the county of resi-dence.

Cross county membership is not permitted when requested for competitive reasons, such as higher livestock sales prices, less competi-tion in classes, etc.

4-H membership in two counties simultaneously is not permitted. Youth must choose one county.

If a member is approved for cross county membership, and the 4-H Program in their county of residence ceases to exist for financial reasons, the youth’s membership will end on December 31st of that year.

In the case of youth with multiple addresses, the county of residence is based on the address they

use to determine school district eligibility.

Dual Membership 4-H / FFA

Often older 4-H members are also FFA members, sometimes within the same county and sometimes in an adjacent county. Members may not take the same project in both 4-H and FFA. Separate or dif-ferent projects must be taken in each organization. Members may find it easiest to take completely different projects (such as two different species of livestock). However, members may take livestock projects of the same species if they take a breeding project in one organization and a market project in the other.

Complete club enrollment packet by April 2nd. Have at least 5 members from at least three different families enrolled by April 1st

Plan and hold a minimum of 6 meetings or activities in the current year.

At least six (4) of the 6 meetings should include a business meeting, demonstrations, recreation, etc.

Complete at least two educational events each year (ex. project work sessions, guest speakers, tours, demonstrations)

Complete IRS and Ohio 4-H required financial reporting:

File year end financial report with OSU Extension by January 31

Member Requirements

EACH CLUB MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS IN THEIR CLUB BY LAWS.

A 4-H member in good standing must:

Follow Club by-laws for attendance and participation at club meetings, activities, tours, service projects, etc.

Perform responsibilities of club member (demonstrations, committees, etc.)

Adhere to project requirements listed in project book and the Project Requirements and Fair Completion Guide.

Complete 4-H project work by having the project judged.

Follow 4-H Code of Conduct that you signed on the enrollment form.

Member must be a “member in good

standing” for the entire 4-H year.

Community Club Organization

Individual Club Rules

Clubs are required to adopt a constitution which is provided as a template by Ohio 4-H.

Clubs may also adopt individual rules by creating By-Laws to attach to their constitution, provided those rules are not in conflict with state guidelines.

Some examples of rules adopted by individual clubs are:

club dues policies

maximum number of members

types of projects permitted & completion policies

attendance policies (see below)

Clubs are not permitted to vote on accepting or not accepting particular members into their club. This is a clear violation of Ohio and National 4-H Council policy. Club By Laws (rules) should be provided to every member every year.

Club Attendance Policies Members are expected to participate in as many club meetings and activities as possible.

Every member must meet their club’s attendance policies (as listed in the club by laws) in order to exhibit at the county fair and receive Jr. Fair premiums or represent Wyandot County at The Ohio State Fair.

4-H Projects

Project Books Although some project books are designed to be used for more than one year, we require a NEW project book for EVERY project

EVERY 4-H Year!

Each book cover will have a designated sticker with the current 4-H year on the book.

Project Books & Resources

Most 4-H projects have a designated project book, which includes background information, activities, and instructions for completing your project. These books are designed for the members to write in and complete as they do their project activities.

The only projects without books are the self-determined and master projects which instead have outlines for youth, who then design their own project.

Some projects also suggest the use of a resource manual, or other additional resources. These are common for animal projects, but are also available for a few non-animal projects. If your project has a suggested resource manual, it will be noted in the project description.

Project books do not include county judging or fair display

requirements.

Specific county judging requirements can be found in the

Project Completion and Fair Requirement Guide (PCFR) on

the county website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see the project books ahead of time?

Yes. Project books can be viewed at the Extension Office during our normal business hours ,members can preview one activity of any Ohio 4-H Project book any-time through the online Ohio 4-H Project Central (see below) or attend the 4-H Family Kick off event on Sun-day February 11th, 2018 in the Fairgrounds Dining Hall.

Does a member have to do all of the activities

in the project book?

Answers for this question vary based on the project. Some projects are designed to be used for a single year and require all activities to be completed. Others are designed for multiple years and require only 1/2 or 1/3 of the activities to be completed each year. This information will be included in the front section of each project book

Can I change a project if I decide I don’t like it

or it’s too hard?

Members may change projects through Monday, May 15 . After May 15, if a member wishes to change a pro-ject they will not be eligible for awards or state fair par-ticipation, or to exhibit livestock at the fair (if the live-stock project was changed)

How do I know what to take to judging or to

the fair?

The county judging and fair requirements for each project , along with the project descriptions, are available online at Wy-andot.osu.edu under 4-H Youth Develop-ment.

Project Central

Ohio 4-H has launched a website where members can learn more about projects including a preview for each book where they can review the table of contents and one activity.

www.ohio4h.org/projectcentral

On this same site members can also provide ratings and reviews for projects they have already taken to help Ohio 4-H improve projects for the future.

Please note that only state-wide projects are listed. Most, but not all, state projects are currently offered in Wyandot County.

wyandot.osu.edu



Why are 4-H Projects Judged? Project judging gives members an opportunity to visit with a judge about their project experience.

This interview style judging is designed to be a positive experience which teaches youth valuable interview skills, and provides a closure for the project.

Judging also serves as a way for youth to be rewarded for their project work through letter grades, placing's, state fair participation opportunities, and other project awards.

Members must have 4-H Projects judged!

State Fair Participation Many 4-H projects can be taken to the Ohio State Fair or other state level competitions. In order to participate in state fair competition — if selected —

All county projects, except livestock, must be completed by state fair deadline.

Livestock and Small Animals:

Members do not need to qualify, but they do need to pre-register by June 20th.

Information is online at www.ohiostatefair.com

Horse Projects:

Members must qualify through a special horse show called a PAS show.

Please see your advisor for details.

Other Projects:

Members are selected for state fair participation through Pre-Fair judging.

Selection criteria vary among different project areas.

Members selected for state fair should read their entire packet carefully. Many requirements are different from county judging.

Junior Fair Exhibits

Members must return all entries to the Sr. Fair office BEFORE the ENTRY DEADLINE AUGUST 15. If there is doubt about an entry, make it. An entry can always be dropped, but it cannot be added after the deadline. Jr. Fair entries must be approved by 4-H club advisors. Advisors should review members’ 4-H project books and records verifying that they are complete and check member-in-good-standing status before making entries.

Exhibits are to be “checked in” on Monday before the fair from 4:00-9:00 p.m. All 4-H members whose projects have been judged or evaluated and entered are eligible to exhibit something representing their project at the Wyandot County Fair. Please check the judging schedule for your appropriate judging date. Projects other than livestock are exhibited in club booths or the all-county booth if a club booth is not available.

PROJECT ANIMALS MAY NOT BE REPLACED after possession dates. Posters may be displayed in club booths or the all-county booth or barns, but livestock posters for animals that died must be “checked in” at the barn.

Although a reasonable effort will be made to protect your 4-H exhibit from damage or theft, neither the Wyandot County Fair Board nor the Wyandot County office of Ohio State University Extension is responsible for the safety of any Junior Fair exhibit placed on display at the Wyandot County Fair.

All exhibits, including livestock, are placed on display at the risk of the member. In addition, members and their parents are responsible for any damage or injury which their livestock may cause to other individuals or property. Please check your homeowner's liability policy to see if it covers your animals on display at the fairgrounds.

All exhibits MUST be in compliance with established fire regulations!

All exhibits must be removed from the Wyandot County Fairgrounds by the deadline established by the Wyandot County Agricultural Society. Any exhibits left after that deadline will be discarded.

Junior Fair Sale

See the current Wyandot County Official Fair Premium Book for rules and guidelines for the Jr. Fair Sale.

Wyandot County Fair

Exhibiting at the Wyandot County Fair

Exhibiting at the fair is optional but encouraged for 4-H members. The Wyandot County Official Fair Premium Book contains all rules for exhibiting at the fair.

All Junior Fair entry procedures and fair booth information will be arranged by the Wyandot County Junior Fair Coordinator. All Junior Fair exhibits will be released according to rules stated in the Wyandot County Official Fair Premium Book (not until 7:00 p.m. on Sunday of the fair).

Projects other than livestock must have been evaluated by a judge at judging days or make-up judg-ing day, or be officially reviewed by an advisor before August 15 and exhibitor must complete a fair entry form for fair participation.

All projects, including Cloverbud projects, ex-hibited at the fair require a Jr. Fair entry form. Entry forms complete with advisor signature must be returned to the Secretary’s office on the Fairgrounds by Au-gust 15. Do NOT return entry forms to the Extension office.

Only members who exhibit their projects at the fair are eligible for a premium. A specified amount of money (fair premium) will be paid by the Wy-andot County Senior Fair Board. Check the Wyandot County Official Fair Premium Book for exact amounts and the way premiums will be paid. Projects evaluated by advisors and Cloverbud projects of members who have an I.D. which are displayed at the fair will receive a $1.00 fair premium.

The member’s identification pass will be re-quired to pick up premium checks. Any checks not picked up during the fair can be picked up at the Sr. Fair office Monday, Wednesday, or Friday through November 1 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. No premi-um will be paid unless each project is displayed at

the fair for entire duration of fair (until release time).

Junior Fair passes for the Wyandot County Fair are required for all Jr. Fair exhibitors. Check for current year prices. Youth exhibiting in open class will be required to purchase a youth season pass. Passes should be picked up at the Fairgrounds Secretary’s Office.

Project Book Requirement - Members must submit a completed record book for each project animal being exhibited at the fair. Books will be evaluated at Livestock Interview Judging on Saturday, August 11, 2018.

Junior Fair Livestock Entries - Jr. Fair entries are required for all animals being exhibited at the fair and are due August 15th, in the secretary’s office at the fairgrounds. These entries must be signed by the club advisors, so waiting until the last minute is not advised.

Entries will not be accepted from members who have not completed livestock Quality Assurance by July 24 , 2018. This is a Sr. Fair Board rule, and cannot be changed by your advisor or the Extension Office.

Specific Project Requirements - Most livestock projects have additional requirements such as possession dates, tagging / identification, weight limits, age, breeds etc. in order to show at the county fair. Please check Jr Fair requirements.

Drug Use Notification Form (DUNF) - DUNFs are required for all market and lactating animals (not needed for breeding stock). They are to be turned in on check-in day at the county fair (Monday, September 10, 2018).

County Fair Requirements - Each livestock committee has particular requirements for exhibiting at the county fair. Please refer to the Fair Book for these details.

Club Requirements - Junior Fair entries will not be accepted from members who fail to meet their club’s participation requirements (attendance, project completion, community service, etc.). Members who fail to meet club requirements are not in good standing and are therefore not eligible to compete at the county fair.
